Description: Here is the only affordable selection of Claredon's classic History of the Rebellion currently in print, and the first popular edition since 1953. Paul Seaward's new selection includes all the famous passages but also provides a readable narrative account of the Civil War and links Claredon's personal story to the greater struggle going on around him. A substantial introduction sets Clarendon's achievement in its political and literary context; a glossary of main characters and index further enhances the volume's usefulness.
