It follows the sailors, merchants, privateers and adventurers who ventured beyond familiar European waters in search of new trading opportunities, wealth and overseas influence. Against a background of rivalry with Spain and Portugal, these voyages helped transform England from a relatively minor maritime power into an increasingly ambitious seafaring nation. The book brings together exploration, commerce and adventure while examining the personalities and risks that characterised the beginnings of England's overseas expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216403611987,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421110026579,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/318.jpg?v=1792783435","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-tudor-venturers-folio-society-318","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
