Sir Walter Ralegh by Robert Lacey6/20/2023 ![]() In this volume, Lacey limns the most important period in England’s past, highlighting the spread of the English language, the rejection of both a religion and a traditional view of kingly authority, and an unstoppable movement toward intellectual and political freedom from 1387 to 1689. The greatest historians are vivid storytellers, Robert Lacey reminds us, and in Great Tales from English History, he proves his place among them, illuminating in unforgettable detail the characters and events that shaped a nation. With insight, humor and fascinating detail, Lacey brings brilliantly to life the stories that made England - from Ethelred the Unready to Richard the Lionheart, the Venerable Bede to Piers the Ploughman. ![]()
