Overview
Power, faith and monarchy collide in a great work of narrative history of Britain. History is argument in motion. In this fifth volume of The History of England, John Lingard continues his sweeping account from the first Roman legions to the age of James I, tracing how rulers, parliaments and peoples reshaped a kingdom. Centred on Tudor and Stuart England, this scholarly historical volume explores English monarchy politics and the shifting balance between church and state in England, setting constitutional change and religious controversy within a lucid, continuous story. Lingard's measured prose and meticulous use of sources make this classic British history book a rich counterpoint to better-known narratives such as the Macaulay History of England, valued by historians yet welcoming to curious readers. It stands within a grand design that runs from Romans to James, linking the drama of late mediaeval government to enduring debates over liberty, authority and belief that began in Roman Britain history. For students, it serves as a reliable history students reference and academic research resource; for lovers of fine libraries, it is an essential part of any John Lingard history collection and a distinguished companion to other standard works on Tudor and Stuart England. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
