Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Political Poems and Songs, Vol. 1: Relating to English History, Composed During the Period From the Accession of Edw; III, to That of Ric; III The documents which compose the two following volumes extend through some of the most interesting periods of our national annals. They begin at the moment when a weak and ill-advised monarch had been violently deposed from the throne, and his young son substituted in his place; while his father´s marriage had brought to the latter rights in France which led him into wars that raised the military glory of England to such a height as it had never reached before. The reign of Edward III., glorious in many respects, was followed, as it had been preceded, by a reign of weakness and vice, ending similarly in the deposition of the reigning king, but involving in this case a change of dynasty. Then came a short and peaceful reign under the first monarch of the house of Lancaster, followed by the military glories of that of Henry V. The weakness of his son and successor, Henry VI., left the field open to the uncontrolled struggle of personal interests and passions, as well as of political principles, which soon became a more serious contest of dynasties than had yet occurred, and which closed the middle ages by introducing our country to a new political life. Our Political Poems, in fact, occupy the whole space between what may be considered, properly speaking, as the feudal age, and the commencement of our modem history.
