Title: Traces the emergence of England as a unified political nation, and at the same time presents a broad picture of their religion
Review: This text is a bit strong on the central narrative, but I really enjoyed reading of the broad panorama, political and cultural development of the English Society from the Norman Conquest to the end of the Wars of the Roses. It is the story of change, progress, setbacks and consolidation, with England emerging as a wealthy and stable country, many of whose essential features were to remain unchanged until the IndustrialRevolution.Within the framework of the book "King" examines many other facets of medieval England, including religion and learning, agriculture and economic developments, the machinery of government, the administration of justice, warfare and chivalry, everyday life, art and architecture.A very fine book....
