A history of England principally in the seventeenth century, Volume 1 (of 6)
Leopold von Ranke, the founder of modern source-based history, published his History of England Principally in the Seventeenth Century in German between 1859 and 1868; an Oxford translation appeared in six volumes in 1875. Ranke saw England's seventeenth-century struggles through the long history of crown, church and nobility, so this first volume reaches back to the Middle Ages, to Henry II and Becket and John and Magna Carta, before treating the Reformation, Elizabeth and the accession of the Stuarts. He writes with detachment as a foreign observer, drawing on diplomatic archives from across Europe, and he is interested above all in the interplay of national and European politics.
