The English Civil War Zusammenfassung

The English Civil War: At First Hand Tristram Hunt

A new history of the English Civil War which uses first-hand contemporaneous accounts to bring the period and its characters to life. As well as the most famous and lively documents, diaries and court cases of the period, the author has uncovered less known sources which added together will present a fascinating new angle on the years between 1637 and 1652 when Cromwell's Roundheads and Charles I's Cavaliers fought over Anglican reforms and Scottish rule. Written by Tristram Hunt, the up-and-coming celebrity historian, and lavishly illustrated, this is both the perfect introduction to the English Civil War and a companion for anyone wanting to delve deeper into its history.

The English Civil War Bewertungen

Not the book of the BBC2 series, but it is worth mentioning that the author's TV history of the English Civil War attracted 4m viewers, as well as favourable comparison with that other star of popular history on TV, Simon Schama. Only a small proportion of those viewers needs to buy this book to send it soaring up the bestseller lists. This history of a subject not lacking previous narrative treatments uses abundant contemporary sources to bring a sense of immediacy to the civil strife between 1637 and 1652 that gave birth to the mother of all parliaments. Popular history at its best: a hugely important topic brought to life with considerable style by a professional historian in full command of the sources. A surprise bestseller this Christmas?
