Tales from the Long Twelfth Century is a gallop through the political history of the Angevin Empire via a series of short portraits of notable men and women. I think it's accessible enough to be used in undergraduate intro courses, though I quibble with some of how Huscroft uses sources and his framing of certain topics. It should be used with scaffolding. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
This intriguing book tells the story of England's great medieval Angevin dynasty in an entirely new way. Departing from the usual king-centric narrative, Richard Huscroft instead centers each of his chapters on the experiences of a particular man or woman who contributed to the broad sweep of events. Whether noble and brave or flawed and fallible, each participant was struggling to survive in the face of uncontrollable forces. Princes, princesses, priests, heroes, relatives, friends, and others-some well known and others obscure-all were embroiled in the drama of historic events. Under Henry II and his sons Richard I (the Lionheart) and John, the empire rose to encompass much of the British Isles and the greater part of modern France, yet it survived a mere fifty years. Huscroft deftly weaves together the stories of individual lives to illuminate the key themes of this exciting and formative era. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
