Description

Viewing history as a grand drama, Froude emphasized great personalities and disdained the scientific approach in his historical writing. This epic, twelve-volume narrative presents a vivid portrait of a tumultuous era. The first volume begins with an overview of the social conditions of England in the sixteenth century, and closes with a chapter on the marriage of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, and her coronation in 1533.
