Description
From Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales to the reign of William and Mary, Robert Lacey's second volume of great tales highlights the spread of the English language, the rejection of both a religion and a classic view of kingly authority, and an unstoppable movement toward intellectual and political freedom. Anglophiles will recognize their favorite English kings and queens, holy men and charlatans, scientists and architects, in the rich historical period covered here (1387-1687). Joan of Arc, Henry VIII, the Virgin Queen and her nemesis Mary Queen of Scots, Guy Fawkes, Oliver Cromwell, Samuel Pepys, Sir Christopher Wren, Isaac Newton--these are but a few of the famous characters to grace the pages of volume two
