History of the English People, Volume V
Puritan England, 1603-1660
John Richard Green's History of the English People expanded his popular Short History into a fuller narrative, and this fifth volume of the 1896 Eversley edition covers one of its most dramatic stretches. It opens with a long chapter on the England of Shakespeare, the flowering of Elizabethan literature after the Armada, then turns to Puritan England: the accession of James I, his quarrels with Parliament, the royal favorites, the personal rule of Charles I, the Scottish rising and the Long Parliament up to 1644. Green writes social and religious history as much as political, giving space to the Puritan temper, the poets and the ordinary life of the nation alongside kings and statutes. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
