Title: History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada
Description: London, Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts & Green, 1863-1870. Leather. A smart complete set of this history of England from English historian James Anthony Froude. Complete in six volumes. With a frontispiece to volume one. A detailed and comprehensive history of England from the fall of Wolsey to the defeat of the Spanish Armada, with chapters featuring the High Court of Justice, the Coronation of James VI, dogmatic theology, Calvinism, the outbreak of insurrection, and more. Froude worked on this history for twenty years with the intention of defending the English Reformation which he asserted was "the hinge on which all modern history turned". The main body of his writing focused on figures such as Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, with the expression of his antipathy towards Rome and his belief that the Church should be subordinated to the state. His historical writing later became characterised by its dramatic rather than scientific treatment of history. Written by James Anthony Froude, an English historian, novelist, biographer, and editor of Fraser's Magazine. In the original full brown calf binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing to the extremities and the odd small mark to the boards. Light fading to the spine. Front hinge starting but firm to volumes one and two.
