A Short History of England

More about the book

The book offers a unique perspective on English history, aiming to present it from the viewpoint of the general public rather than scholars. The author critiques traditional histories for neglecting or misrepresenting the populace, arguing that most popular histories are actually anti-popular. By highlighting this gap, the author seeks to provide an accessible narrative that acknowledges the experiences and roles of ordinary people in shaping history, challenging the prevailing scholarly interpretations that often overlook their contributions.
