A Short History of England

More about the book

A fresh perspective on English history is offered through the lens of the common public, challenging traditional narratives that often overlook or misrepresent the populace. The author argues that popular histories tend to dismiss the people's role, suggesting that they are more anti-popular than inclusive. By critiquing well-known historians like Green, the text aims to provide a more accurate representation of England's past, emphasizing that historical accounts should reflect the experiences and views of ordinary citizens rather than elite perspectives.
