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 1stProudly republished by Read & Co. Books, this classic treasure is a must-read for collectors of Austen’s work and fans of English history.
