The history of England is a continuous movement and a series of constant changes. But the whole history of England since primitive times has been permeated by continuity, so that the main thing in it is not change, but constancy. To this day in England is felt inextricable connection with the past, with traditions and customs. Still this country, which has always been one, resists change in every aspect of life. Peter Ackroyd shows the origins of England's age-old immutability, its conservatism and commitment to the past.
This book shows the history of England from the Neolithic period, the first settlements and the building of Stonehenge, to the construction of medieval cathedrals, the formation of universal law and the end of the reign of the first Tudor king, Henry VII. The narrative follows successive waves of invaders - Romans, Vikings, Saxons and Normans, warring kings, internal strife and foreign wars. In the work of Ackroyd, who is rightly considered one of the best English writers, recreates not only political history, the everyday life of royalty and the vicissitudes of their relationships, but also the daily life of ordinary people with its traditions, customs and material culture. A solid historical and literary work with 51 color illustrations will be of interest to a wide range of readers.
