Content introduction:

Dickens tells the story of English history, which was written by the famous British writer Charles? A set of history books written by Dickens for his children was first serialized in 185 1 1 853 65438+February's English weekly Family Vocabulary. Dickens was also the editor of this magazine. This book is divided into three volumes, which tells the history of England from 50 BC to AD 1689 and the accession of Queen Victoria, and also covers some important historical events in Scotland, Ireland and France. Although it is a history book, Dickens adopted a more interesting and story-telling literary writing technique, and created it on the basis of historical facts, which vividly shaped the dialogue and characters' emotions in the text and brought readers an immersive feeling. In addition, Dickens' humorous writing style and satirical style still run through the whole text. By telling the ups and downs of kings in past dynasties, the author also expresses an extraordinary state of mind that things are unpredictable, prosperity is exhausted, and everything will eventually return to dust, thus causing readers to think about the true meaning of life.

The first volume of this book (Chapters 1 to 14) is divided into four parts: Saxon invasion, Scandinavian invasion, Norman conquest, and the consolidation and development of Anglo-Norman dynasty in England. This history witnessed the early turmoil, division and unification of Britain. If we want to know more about English culture today, this history is an indispensable cornerstone. Most notably, in the last three chapters of this volume, the author describes the rise and fall of the Anjou Dynasty, explains the root of the contradiction between Britain and France, and lays the groundwork for the century-old war between Britain and France, which dominated the second volume.
