Suzannah Lipscomb writes Tudor and early-modern history for general readers, with particular attention to Henry VIII, religious change, gender and the interpretation of surviving evidence. 1536: The Year That Changed Henry VIII examines a single year of rebellion, injury, family crisis and political pressure to explain shifts in the king's later rule. The King Is Dead studies Henry VIII's will and the disputes surrounding succession, while A Visitor's Companion to Tudor England uses surviving places to connect political history with buildings and everyday experience. Lipscomb has also written on women, witchcraft and marriage in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century France and England. Her style is clear, evidence-led and explanatory without becoming a textbook. Her work fits Tudor history, royal biography, early-modern social history and books that unpack historical controversies for non-specialists. Read more Less
