Froude's History Of England

By Charles Kingsley

Book Overview

Froude's History of England is a book written by Charles Kingsley that provides a comprehensive account of the history of England. The book covers the period from the reign of Henry VIII to the end of the reign of Elizabeth I. It is a detailed and well-researched account of the political, social, and cultural developments that occurred during this period, including the Tudor dynasty, the Reformation, and the rise of the British Empire. The book is based on the works of James Anthony Froude, a prominent historian of the Victorian era, and Kingsley's own research and interpretation of the events. The book is written in a clear and engaging style, making it accessible to readers of all levels of knowledge on the subject. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of England and the Tudor period in particular.But it is more than unwise to boast and rejoice that the former times were worse than these; and to teach young people to say in their hearts, 'What clever fellows we are, compared with our stupid old fogies of fathers ' More than unwise; for possibly it may be false in fact. To look at the political and moral state of Europe at this moment, Christendom can hardly afford to look down on any preceding century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
