History of England (6 Volumes)

David Hume | ISBN-10: 0865970319 | 2060 pages | PDF
Hume's philosophy works, I admit, have choked my senses and discouraged my interest in ever handling another of his volumes, yet this historical work, comprehensive over twelve centuries, from the Roman province through the reign of King John and the Magna Charta, is, for history buffs, quite difficult to put down. Hume covers only that history which pertains to English history, and with his reference materials so scarce, we reach the 8th century by page 40. Hume covers the passing of the Romans, the licentiousness of the Saxons after they were invited to protect the native Britons, the irresistible conquests of the Danes, the consolidations of the minor kingdoms, the ways of life of these various peoples, the Norman invasion, the politics at court, and the personalities of the various princes, with startling particulars, both in speech, action and the incipience of national government, from the lives of its central characters.
Hume speaks lucidly of the manners, customs, and religious beliefs of the periods he covers, as well as their evolution through time.
A fascinating read for anyone interested in early English history!
