The homeland of parliamentary democracy, centuries-old monarchy, and the language spoken worldwide today, England often appears in an aura of ancient legends, old traditions, and former imperial grandeur. However, behind this familiar image lies a long history of deep internal... conflicts and class contradictions. In this engaging book, filled with numerous illustrative examples, James House offers a fresh and captivating perspective on the history of England – from Julius Caesar's first invasion to Brexit and the dramatic events of our time. 'A Brief History of England' is not just a chronicle of the most important events of the past, but a profound study of the divide between North and South, the people and the elite, which has defined the fate of the nation for two thousand years. 'The empires of England are receding into history. The battle for England itself is just beginning.' (James House)
