A Short History of England
From the Roman Times to the World War IBy G. K. Chesterton
Length6h 26m
About this audiobook
A Short History of England is a history book written by G. K. Chesterton in which he summarizes British history from the time of Roman provinces on the British Island to the great wars in 20th century. Chesterton takes a rather romanticized view of the absolute monarchy of olden times and naturally gets increasingly more political as his history nears his own time period of World War I. Chesterton's unique perspective as a Catholic and as a collectivist are all reflected in his interpretation of everything from the dissolution of the monasteries to the poor laws of the 19th and 20th centuries
