Publisher: Delphi Publishing Ltd
Summary
The celebrated Renaissance chronicler Raphael Holinshed produced a comprehensive history of the British Isles in collaboration with several others. The ‘Chronicles’ was compiled uncritically from many sources of varying degrees of trustworthiness. It provided a valuable repertory of historical information that was not readily available to the majority of Tudor readers. The Elizabethan dramatists drew heavily from Holinshed’s pages, which in turn helped change the course of English literature. This eBook presents Holinshed’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, a concise introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material.
