This volume of Robert Lacey's 'Great Tales From English History' opens with Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales' and the flowering of the modern English language in the final years of the fourteenth century. It culminates with the 'Glorious Revolution of 1688-9', when Parliament finally secured control of the Crown for which it had fought forty years earlier in the battles of the Civil War.
With his genius for the popular touch, Robert Lacey has drawn on the most up-to-date research to present a riveting, ongoing narrative, highlighting all the most pivotal, entertaining and exciting landmarks in the history of our nation.
