Om denne bog

First published in 1791, The History of England is a refreshingly witty, classic account of England''s royal reigns from Henry IV through to Charles I. Written by Jane Austen aged 15, this is a topic she studied when she was a child.

In this mischievous satire on school history books, Austen''s delightful juvinilia highlights her dry wit and advanced talent for writing. The History of England gives a humorous account of the country''s well-known kings and queens, and is complete with Austen''s original spelling quirks.

Describing herself as a ''partial, prejudiced and ignorant historian'', Austen uses a light-hearted tone to parody the dry history books popularly seen in schools. This lively book mocks historians with outrageous characters and deliciously naughty intelligence.

This satirical volume''s contents includes:

    - Henry the 4th
    - Henry the 5th
    - Henry the 6th
    - Edward the 4th
    - Edward the 5th
    - Richard the 3rd
    - Henry the 7th
    - Henry the 8th
    - Edward the 6th
    - Mary
    - Elizabeth
    - James the 1st
    - Charles the 1st

Proudly republished by Read & Co. Books, this classic treasure is a must-read for collectors of Austen''s work and fans of English history.
