Essays in English History

About this book

A J P Taylor admits to writing, more often than not, to satisfy his own historical curiosity. However unorthodox or surprising his views, the results are invariably enterprising and unambiguous. In Essays in English History, he is mostly concerned with the character of English history seen through the eyes of its great personalities. His choice of subjects is wide-ranging - from Cromwell to Roger Casement, from Queen Victoria to the City of Manchester, his final and most personal essay.
