Opis

English Historical Documents is the most ambitious, impressive and comprehensive collection of primary documents on English history ever published. The volumes were published between 1953 and 1977 and have become landmark publications in their own fields.

This long awaited volume covers 1603–1660, the years of the Stuart Kings, the English Civil War and the rise and fall of the Republic. The format of the series has been updated and the documents gathered here encompass the most up to date approaches to the material. This volume includes informative introductory pieces for the parts and sections and editorial comment is directed towards making sources intelligible rather than drawing conclusions from them.
