Description
England - Between Crown, Conflict and Cultural Power
A small country with a vast history: England has shaken kingdoms, built empires, and shaped political systems. It is the land of the Magna Carta and the Industrial Revolution, of Shakespearean drama and punk subcultures, of naval battles, civil wars, and Brexit. But how did England evolve from a Roman province into the seedbed of a global empire? What ruptures, power struggles, and inventions marked this extraordinary historical journey?
This book takes you on a multifaceted and gripping journey through English history - from Celtic origins and Viking invasions to the Tudors, from the battlefields of civil war to the palaces of monarchs, and on to the global upheavals of the present day. It reveals how an island kingdom developed over centuries into a major world player - and what challenges it faces today.
Whether you're curious about daily life in medieval England, want to understand the significance of the Reformation, or trace the rise and fall of the British Empire - this book provides a well-founded, accessible overview of the defining epochs of English history.
