This text, which is the second volume in the best-selling History of England series, tells how a small and insignificant outpost of the Roman empire evolved into a nation that has produced and disseminated so many significant ideas and institutions.

An Entertaining... Textbook?,
By A Customer
This review is from: This Realm of England 1399-1688 (History of England, vol. 2) (Paperback)
The second in an informative and entertaining series on English history, this book is not a difficult read, even if it's required for class. An excellent overview of this time period for any student of English history- or the average reader. One of the few disappointments was the section in which Oliver Cromwell appeared. Absent was any mention of reasons why historians such as Maurice Ashley have labelled Cromwell as a "brave, bad man", or of the atrocities he instigated in Ireland. If your interest does not include the information on Cromwell, this is an excellent book, one I did not sell back after the semester was over!

A good college text,
This review is from: This Realm of England, 1399 to 1688 (A History of England) (Paperback)
This is one of the more enjoyable college texts I have yet been required to read. It is a nice size, not at all unweildly, the pages are smooth and the language flows nicely. I like the inclusion of some portraits and the back of the book has the material broken up into centuries.

Bad sentence structure,

This review is from: This Realm of England 1399-1688 (History of England, vol. 2) (Paperback)
Bad sentence structure. Seems like written by a person who has no grammatical knowledge.Hard to interpret what author is trying to say. General editor(Big Shot)did a horrible job editing it. Overall bad book for a notable historian to write.
