5.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining and enlightening,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shortened History Of England (Paperback)
Trevelyn was the nephew of Macauley--that other great English historian. Macauley's work focused on a brief period of English history after the Restoration. Trevelyn's work stretches from the ancient era to the end of World War I. I have read several works on the history of England, but this was by far the most pleasurable to read and the most informative. The book does a great job in explaining the religious and social issues surrounding the Reformation, the regicide, Cromwell's protectorate, and the Restoration. I feel that my understanding of the English-speaking world has been improved significantly. I have not yet read Churchill's history, but I cannot imagine anything better. Trevelyn's style is entertaining and he has a real pride in his native land which comes through the book.
