| Description | The extraordinary world so brilliantly re-created in The Hollow Crown was a turbulent and dangerous one. The country was racked by famine, rebellion, civil war and plague. The advent of the Black Death must be considered the single most terrible event in Britain's history; and the horrific, ultimately futile bloodbath of the Hundred Years War scarred generations. And yet, despite this turmoil, it is a period that left a magnificent artistic and literary legacy, that created a recognizable spoken and written English and that lies at the heart of the nation's myth of itself. The Hollow Crown revels in the texture of the times. The reader is given a strongly imagined sense of how lives were led across Britain, from peasant to king, from field to fortress, and of the events that are part of everyone's collective imagination, not least through Shakespeare's history plays. For readers unfamiliar with the history of these centuries The Hollow Crown is a magical introduction. | | Release Date | 2005 | | Author | Miri Rubin | | Format | Dimensions 16.5x24.0x3.7 cm
