LIFE IN TUDOR TIMES CD-ROM
This CD-ROM brings the vanished world of Tudor and Elizabethan England to students on the elementary and secondary school levels. Produced by a team of British educators, the CD-ROM features material filmed and photographed at Hever Castle, home of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s ill-fated Queen, as well as much detailed factual information about all the major events and personalities that shaped the destiny of England from the end of the Wars of the Roses to the death of Elizabeth I. The story of the Tudor Kings and Queens, descriptions of major events such as the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and the lives of key personalities such as Sir Walter Raleigh are all illustrated by colorful and attractive paintings. The social side of Tudor England is explored through four main areas: Arts and Architecture, Life at Sea, Court Life, and Life in Town and Country. To give students further insight, the program features nine characters - among them are an actor in the finest Shakespearean tradition, an aristocrat, and a villainous barber-surgeon - in filmed reenactments of everyday life situations in Tudor times. The CD-ROM can be used with either Windows or Macintosh.
