Parliament : the biography. Volume 1, Ancestral voices
Bryant, Christopher, 1962-2014
Book
The history of Britain's Parliament is in many ways the history of the nation itself. It's a story which has quite literally a cast of thousands. Some of these politicians were venal and corrupt, others were honest and inspirational; some were drunk and given to violence, others hardworking and dedicated to the business of running the country. This volume takes us on a 400-year journey from Parliament's very earliest days in the fourteenth century through the turbulent years of the Wars of the Roses and the horrors of the English Civil War, and up to the end of the eighteenth century, when Parliament first truly began to take on its modern form.
