Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of England, Vol. 1 He writes no scientific history. What did the Conquest mean for England? Domesday Book, curfew bell, Norman dresses, Norman masters and manners, - a child gets no more from Dickens. To be sure, he does not clamour for more. Johnny Lockhart sent a message to his grandfather, he very much dislikes the chapter on Civilisation, and it is his desire that you will never say any more about it, for he dislikes it extremely. Dirks were enough for Master Lockhart. But, if one may speak for oneself (wtat. Sir Walter's exposi tion of the feudal ideal was lucid and highly interesting Here, one thought, was a right notion of how to live; and it is probable that, if children are to be taught history, they can easily be made to see that feudalism was a society with an idea. Dickens makes no effort to reach a child's intelligence on this point. Take, again, the Reformation. What notion does a child get from Dickens about the Re formation - about Luther's ideas On the other hand, Dickens writes here with a fine impartiality, and lets a child understand that the Reformation was dishonest, brutal, and blundering; that Henry VIII., being his own Pope, im partially burned both sides, and was, in a famous phrase.

In the old days, a long, long while ago, before Our Saviour was born on earth and lay asleep in a manger, these Islands were in the same place, and the stormy sea roared round them, just as it roars now. But the sea was not alive, then, with great ships and brave sailors, sailing to and from all parts of the world. It was very lonely. The Islands lay solitary, in the great expanse of water.

Download or read book Foundation written by Peter Ackroyd and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book in Peter Ackroyd's history of England series, which has since been followed up with two more installments, Tudors and Rebellion. In Foundation, the chronicler of London and of its river, the Thames, takes us from the primeval forests of England's prehistory to the death, in 1509, of the first Tudor king, Henry VII. He guides us from the building of Stonehenge to the founding of the two great glories of medieval England: common law and the cathedrals. He shows us glimpses of the country's most distant past--a Neolithic stirrup found in a grave, a Roman fort, a Saxon tomb, a medieval manor house--and describes in rich prose the successive waves of invaders who made England English, despite being themselves Roman, Viking, Saxon, or Norman French. With his extraordinary skill for evoking time and place and his acute eye for the telling detail, Ackroyd recounts the story of warring kings, of civil strife, and foreign wars. But he also gives us a vivid sense of how England's early people lived: the homes they built, the clothes the wore, the food they ate, even the jokes they told. All are brought vividly to life in this history of England through the narrative mastery of one of Britain's finest writers.
