A Short History of England

The author challenges the conventional approach to English history, asserting that existing popular histories often overlook or misrepresent the public's perspective. By positioning themselves as an ordinary member of society rather than a scholar, the author aims to provide a more relatable and inclusive narrative. This work seeks to address the gap in historical writing that truly reflects the experiences and viewpoints of the general populace, countering the elitist tendencies of traditional historical accounts.
