Podcast: Not Just the Tudors
Published On: Mon Nov 01 2021
Description: In an age before newspapers and mass media, how did the general public keep abreast of what was going on? How did they find out about the seismic changes going on at court, and in the religious life of the country?  In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Dr. Jenni Hyde, whose extensive research into the early modern period proves that the news was not only spread by word of mouth and pamphlets, it actually became the stuff of ballads and communal songs.Sign up to receive History Hit's Tudor Tuesday newsletter, here > Hosted on Acast.
