About This Novel
"The Six-Part History of England" is the representative work of the historical writer Peter Ackroyd, which includes six volumes: "The Founding of the Empire", "The Tudor Dynasty", "The Age of Rebellion", "The Revolutionary Century", "The King of the World" and "Revolution". It writes the historical process of this legendary country in a magnificent way: how this once closed island country gradually turned into an empire with territories all over the world through religious reform, parliamentary system, technological and ideological revolution, as well as trade and colonial expansion; and how it repositioned itself in the new post-war order as the empire declined today and continued to influence the world. Ackroyd's writing conveys his deep attachment to this country that once stood at the apex of human civilization. It not only creates a history of struggle and innovation for the rise of a great power, but also creates a glorious national epic. "The Age of Rebellion" is the third volume of Ackroyd's "Six Parts of History of England". It begins with King James VI of Scotland going south and becoming the first monarch of the Stuart Dynasty, and ends with James II being deposed and going into hasty exile. Brutal civil war marked the Stuart era. James I's attitude towards the English Parliament sowed the seeds of division, and the country was plagued by internal conflicts throughout the reign of his successor, Charles I. The author vividly presents the turbulent 17th century in England, and at the same time depicts the extremely rich cultural and social life of this period, including Shakespeare's later masterpieces, John Milton's poems, etc., Not only tells the story of the British royal family, but also shows the daily status of the British people in the era of rebellion.
