Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters and Other Documents: Illustrating the Relations Between England and Germany, at the Commencement of the Thirty Year´s War; From the Outbreak of the Revolution in Bohemia to the Election of the Emperor Ferdinand II It is seldom that events which have taken place upon the Continent have affected the course of English history so deeply as the struggle between the two religious parties in Germany which lit up the flames of the Thirty Years´ War. The second growth of Puritanism, and the anti-monarchial feeling which reached its culminating point in the reign of Charles I., may be distinctly traced to the dissatisfaction of the nation with the desertion by James of his Protestant allies. The general character of James´s diplomacy has long been one of the common places of history. What it was in detail no one has yet inquired. And yet it would seem to be necessary to the forming of a just estimate of the foreign policy of the Parliaments of 1621 and 1624 to arrive at some correct idea of the real nature of the diplomacy which they denounced. The present volume is an attempt to fill up to some extent this gap in our history by means of documents which, with three or four exceptions, have been hitherto unpublished. The interesting despatches of Doncaster were consulted by Mrs. Green, and quotations have been introduced by her in her Lives of the Princesses, but she has almost exclusively confined her choice to passages which relate to the personal history of the Electress Palatine. This volume forms a complete work in itself, carrying down the history of English diplomacy in Germany to a definite period.
