The English Rebel: One Thousand Years of Trouble-making from the Normans to the Nineties by David Horspool
Requirements: ePUB reader, 3.7mb
Overview: The English have a rich and glorious history of making trouble for themselves. One hundred and forty years before the French Revolution, the English executed their king and instituted a radical revolutionary government. In 1215, more than 570 years before the United States ratified its Bill of Rights, England’s barons forced King John to accept the Magna Carta. In 1926 over 1.5 million strikers brought the nation to its knees.
From the Peasants’ Revolt to the suffragettes, from Oliver Cromwell to Arthur Scargill, this ground-breaking and hugely enjoyable book describes a rich and continuous tradition of resistance, rebellion and radicalism, of violent and charismatic individuals with axes to grind, and of social eruptions and political earthquakes that have shaped England’s whole culture and character.
