Description du produit

History as seen by a famous novelist and essayist. The Introduction begins: "It will be very reasonably asked why I should consent, though upon a

sort of challenge, to write even a popular essay in English history, who

make no pretence to particular scholarship and am merely a member of the

public. The answer is that I know just enough to know one thing: that a

history from the standpoint of a member of the public has not been

written. What we call the popular histories should rather be called the

anti-popular histories. They are all, nearly without exception, written

against the people; and in them the populace is either ignored or

elaborately proved to have been wrong."
