A good college text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is one of the more enjoyable college texts I have yet been required to read. It is a nice size, not at all unweildly, the pages are smooth and the language flows nicely. I like the inclusion of some portraits and the back of the book has the material broken up into centuries.
An Entertaining... Textbook?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The second in an informative and entertaining series on English history, this book is not a difficult read, even if it's required for class. An excellent overview of this time period for any student of English history- or the average reader. One of the few disappointments was the section in which Oliver Cromwell appeared. Absent was any mention of reasons why historians such as Maurice Ashley have labelled Cromwell as a "brave, bad man", or of the atrocities he instigated in Ireland. If your interest does not include the information on Cromwell, this is an excellent book, one I did not sell back after the semester was over!
