History of England. How the people created a great power

England is the world's first industrialized power, the birthplace of brilliant inventors, discoverers and bankers, which gave the world exemplary legislation and the foundations of the constitution. British progressive historian Arthur L. Morton examines the development of Foggy Albion from the times of the Celts and Iberians and the Norman Conquest to the First World War from the point of view of historical materialism and convincingly argues that at all times it was the people who decided politics, formed social institutions and were the main driving force progress. This book presents a truly folk history of England - lively, relevant and instructive.
