A history of England principally in the seventeenth century, Volume 2 (of 6)
Leopold von Ranke's History of England, written in the 1860s and translated at Oxford in 1875, treats the seventeenth century as the hinge of English and European history. This second volume covers the years from the peace with France and Spain in 1630 to the execution of Charles I in 1649: the king's government without Parliament, England's part in the Thirty Years' War, the religious policy of Laud, the Scottish Covenant and the Bishops' Wars, the Long Parliament, the civil war, the rise of the army and its agitators, the second civil war and the fall of the king. Ranke, a German Protestant writing from continental archives, is attentive above all to England's place in European politics. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
