Show by Beatrice A. Lees
Short History of England by G. K. Chesterton.Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a prolific writer on many topics. His views of history were always from the standpoint of men and their interactions, and it may fairly be said he saw all of history as a battle between civilization and barbarism. So it has always been, and that remains true even today. "But it is especially in the matter of the Middle Ages that the popular histories trample upon the popular traditions. In this respect there is an almost comic contrast between the general information provided about England in the last two or three centuries, in which its present industrial system was being built up, and the general information given about the preceding centuries, which we call broadly medieval."Featured on Bedes Ecclesiastical History of England.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
