Synopsis

Since its publication at the beginning of the 18th century, the Earl of Clarendon's history of the English Civil War has been regarded as one of the most important sources for our understanding of the events which changed the course of British history. Clarendon held the offices of Lord High Chancellor of England and Chancellor of the University of Oxford; he began his "History" after the Restoration at the bequest of the King himself. nThis is a reissue of this classic work in a facsimile of the 1888 edition. It chronicles the intrigues and upheavals, the alliances and confrontations, the triumphs and the tragedies of the 1640s and 1650s, and brings to life the personalities who shaped the era and the principles for which a nation was divided.
