Reviews
Irish Times Simon Jenkins has boldly written a unitary, continuous text, taking England" as his subject. The boldness should not surprise us. He is a stellar public intellectual and the best newspaper columnist in the business: the wit, dazzle and scornful elan of his weekly Guardian pieces make them required reading… A Short History of England is intermittently enlivened by his passion for political analysis; the approach also reflects his architectural bent, as chairman of the National Trust and author of several invigorating surveys of houses and churches." The Spectator This is traditional, kings-and-things, great-men history with all its dates and famous quotations in place ... it's jolly good ... Jenkins has a newspaper columnist's aphoristic verve." New Statesman Full of good writing and lively anecdote... Simon Jenkins's Short History of England , published in association with the National Trust, is a handsome book whose narrative gains strength as it goes through the Middle Ages and finds itself in the modern period. His account of the 20th century is full of the good judgements one might hope for from such a sensible and readable commentator, and they alone are worth perusing for pleasure and food for thought. Jenkins is especially good at analysing what he sees as the central idea - the balance between royal power and popular consent." Kirkus Reviews The book is elevated by the author's engaging writing style, and he does a remarkable job with English royal history from 1066 to 1714, demonstrating how the individual kings and queens fit together into one coherent story…A broad, accessible history for those readers not well versed in English history." City AM(UK) Dip into a chapter of an evening and let Jenkins sweep you through England's history, painting a vivid picture of this country's green and pleasant land." Prospect Magazine Immediately accessible… His book is an entertaining and useful one, and if his ideal reader is probably a bright young schoolboy, inspired by a visit to some crumbling castle and keen to find out more about his nation's history, there is nothing wrong with that.", Irish Times "Simon Jenkins has boldly written a unitary, continuous text, taking "England" as his subject.

Book was listed in "good condition, clean copy with light amount of wear" I have had brand new books from Amazon arrive looking more worn than this book! It is like a brand new book with the binding barely cracked! I doubt anyone ever read this book! It came carefully packaged and arrived exactly when it was expected! I would give this seller a higher than A++++++ rating if it could go higher! Very low price and free shipping!! Thank you for your conscientious excellent service. Will shop again!
