The history of England is a continuous movement and a series of constant changes. But the whole history of England, beginning with primitiveness, is permeated by continuity, so that the main thing in it is not change, but constancy. Until now, in England, one can feel an inextricable connection with the past, with traditions and customs. Until now, this country, which has always been a single entity, resists change in any 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 construction of Stonehenge, to the construction of medieval cathedrals, the formation of common law, and the end of the reign of the first Tudor king, Henry VII. The story is about successive waves of invaders - Romans, Vikings, Saxons and Normans, about warring kings, about civil strife within the country and about foreign wars. In the work of Ackroyd, who is rightfully considered one of the best English writers, not only political history, the everyday life of royal people and the ups and downs of their relationship, but also the everyday life of ordinary people with its traditions, customs and material culture, is recreated. A solid historical and literary work, equipped with 51 color illustrations, will be of interest to a wide range of readers.
