DOWNLOAD EBOOK →First published in 1791, The History of England is a refreshingly witty, classic account of England’s royal reigns from Henry IV through to Charles I. Written by Jane Austen aged 15, this is a topic she studied when she was a child. In this mischievous satire on school history books, Austen’s delightful juvinilia highlights her dry wit and advanced talent for writing. The History of England gives a humorous account of the country’s well-known kings and queens, and is complete with Austen’s original spelling quirks. Describing herself as a ‘partial, prejudiced and ignorant historian’, Austen uses a light-hearted tone to parody the dry history books popularly seen in schools. This lively book mocks historians with outrageous characters and deliciously naughty intelligence. This satirical volume’s contents includes: - Henry the 4th - Henry the 5th - Henry the 6th - Edward the 4th - Edward the 5th - Richard the 3rd - Henry the 7th - Henry the 8th - Edward the 6th - Mary - Elizabeth - James the 1st - Charles the 1st Proudly republished by Read & Co. Books, this classic treasure is a must-read for collectors of Austen’s work and fans of English history.
