The third volume in Peter Ackroyd’s acclaimed History of England series, Civil War traces one of the most dramatic and transformative periods in English history. Beginning with the accession of James VI of Scotland as James I of England, Ackroyd follows the Stuart dynasty through political crisis, religious conflict, civil war, regicide, Cromwell’s Commonwealth, the Restoration and the eventual overthrow of James II.
Written in Ackroyd’s highly readable narrative style, the book brings together the personalities, tensions and events that shaped seventeenth-century England, including the Gunpowder Plot, Charles I and Parliament, the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell, Charles II, James II and the Glorious Revolution. Richly illustrated with colour and black and white images, this is an accessible and engaging account of a turbulent century that reshaped the monarchy, Parliament and the nation itself.
A substantial and attractive hardback volume, ideal for readers interested in English history, the Stuart period, the English Civil War and the wider political and religious upheavals of seventeenth-century Britain.
