1215: The Year of Magna Carta por Danny Danziger
Historical Fiction
Comprehensive. Went into the background of English history, Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine and their offspring and how the court machinations led to the grievances of the people against King John and his moving court.
As I embarked on this book, my first thought was that half the middle ages were missing, starting as it did in 1066. A quick examination of the cover revealed that Anglo Saxon Britain had its own Very Short Introduction. As I got the end it was apparent that there was more England than Britain, or at least the discussion of the rest of the British Isles was in the context of English invasion. That said, there is a lot of history crammed into a small format. So much so that it can hardly be recommended for he reader with no familiarity with Medieval history - such a reader is too likely to quickly get lost.… (más)
Readable and in a way informative, but with two drawbacks. First, there is two much emphasis on power struggles at the expense of social history. Second, the title is quite misleading, because the book is really concerned with medieval England; Scotland and Wales are (similarly to France and Ireland) rarely mentioned outside of the context of English attempts at ruling these regions as well.
