The History of England

Autor: Jane Austenová

Žánr: Cizojazyčná literatura > English literature > Nonfiction > Literature and Linguistics

Billed a history 'from the reign of Henry IV to Charles I by a partial, prejudiced and ignorant historian', The History of England pokes fun at the overly verbose and grand histories of Austen's day. Written when she was just fifteen, this is a comic tour de force that shows Austen's wit developing into the satirical prowess she is remembered for.
