nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'I
am doing your Majesty some service here, whilst I am preparing the
story of your sufferings; that posterity may know by whose default the
nation was even overwhelmed with calamities, and by whose virtue it was
redeemed.'
Clarendon's massive History has since its
first publication in 1702-4 dominated our images of the English Civil
War. Written by a man who for over a quarter of a century was one of
the closest advisers to Charles I and Charles II, it contains a
remarkably frank account of the inadequacies of royalist
policy-making as well as an astute analysis of the principles and
practice of government. Clarendon chronicles in absorbing detail the
factions and intrigues, the rise of Cromwell and the death of Charles
I, the bloody battles and the eventual Restoration of the monarchy in
1660 after the Interregnum. He brings to life the key players in a
series of brilliant character portraits, and his account is admired as
much for its literary quality as its historical value. This new
selection conveys a strong sense of the narrative, and contains
passages from Clarendon's autobiography, The Life, including the important description of the intellectual coterie at Great Tew in the 1630s.
