The History Of England From 1485 To 1685 by Thomas Babington Macaulay
A brisk, narrative account of England’s political and religious transformation from the close of the Wars of the Roses through the turbulent seventeenth century, covering Tudor consolidation and the Reformation, the growing conflict between crown and Parliament that erupted into civil war, the republican interlude under Cromwell and the subsequent Restoration, and the settlements that shaped a constitutional monarchy by 1685; the work emphasizes vivid portraits of key figures and events, interprets developments as a progressing advance of liberty and parliamentary government, and is written in rhetorically forceful, judgmental prose.
