A Short History of England

Popüler Kurgu

It will be very reasonably asked why I should consent, though upon a sort ofchallenge, to write even a popular essay in English history, who make no pretenceto particular scholarship and am merely a member of the public. The answer is thatI know just enough to know one thing: that a history from the standpoint of amember of the public has not been written. What we call the popular historiesshould rather be called the anti-popular histories. They are all, nearly withoutexception, written against the people; and in them the populace is either ignored orelaborately proved to have been wrong. It is true that Green called his book "AShort History of the English People"; but he seems to have thought it too short forthe people to be properly mentioned. For instance, he calls one very large part ofhis story "Puritan England." But England never was Puritan. It would have beenalmost as unfair to call the rise of Henry of Navarre "Puritan France." And some ofour extreme Whig historians would have been pretty nearly capable of calling thecampaign of Wexford and Drogheda "Puritan Ireland."
