Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Edward the Fourth Since William Habington´s Historie of King Edward IV, published in 1640, and incorporated in White Kennett´s Complete History of England, no writer has devoted a monograph to the first of the Yorkist kings. The reasons for this neglect I have endeavoured to indicate in my introductory chapter. The dearth of good contemporary chroniclers is quite extra ordinary, and without them a writer has to fall back on conjecture and the balance of probabilities to an extent that would surprise those who do not know the original authorities. It is this lack of contemporary material, I think, which is chiefly responsible for the fact that until recent times the period received little critical attention from historians. The popular view of Edward IV has been derived principally from three plays of Shakespeare, King Henry VI, Parts II and III, and Richard III, and from that striking historical romance, The Last of the Barons, by Lord Lytton. Sharon Turner and Dr. Lingard may be said to have first written the history of Edward´s reign from contemporary authorities. Bishop Stubbs, in the third volume of his Constitutional History of England, treated the question between York and Lancaster on broad and grand lines which make further work on the subject, above all any difference from his expressed opinion, seem almost an impertinence. More recent are the works of Sir James Ramsay and Professor C. W. Oman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
