Dickens Tells British History (volume 2)
by H
About This Novel
The second volume of the book (chapters 15 to 25) tells the story of the decline, division and decline of the Angevin dynasty, which was a history of constant disputes and wars, including the Scottish War of Independence, the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and the English Civil War known as the "War of the Roses". Heroes emerge from troubled times, so this is also a history full of legends, leaving a series of unsolved mysteries for future generations. For this reason, it has become the darling of writers and film and television media people: from Shakespeare's royal tetralogy (including "Richard II" and two "Henry IV" and "Henry V") to Philippa Gregory's "The White Queen", "The Red Queen" and "The Kingmaker's Daughter", and from Mel Gibson's "Braveheart" to Luc Besson's "Joan of Arc", history continues in the new medium.
