Written between 1824 and 1827, this book is a revelation for those accustomed to the Progressive ""history"" found in most textbooks. William Cobbett provides an accurate chronicle of the events which followed Henry VIII's break with Rome; the destruction of monasteries and displacement of thousands of tenant farmers from monastic lands which produced homeless poor. It is a tragic tale, but Cobbett's clear understanding of the source and impact of this tragedy is compelling. An eye-opener.(If you are trying to purchase this item and it shows as "out of stock," please call the store during business hours (512-382-1728) to double check--we are constantly re-stocking items and it simply may not have updated to the web.
