These 36 lectures tell the remarkable story of a tumultuous thousand-year period in the history of England. Dominated by war, conquest, and the struggle to balance the stability brought by royal power with the rights of the governed, it was a period that put into place the foundation of much of the world we know today. As you journey through this largely chronological narrative you'll see key themes emerge, including the assimilation of successive waves of invaders, the tense relationship between kings and the nobility, and the constant battles over money and taxation.

Very engaging story
Revisado: 02-07-23
This professor has an engaging but neutral manner (not sing song or exaggerated intonation). I found the story pretty interesting. I’d love even more glimpses of everyday life, arts & commerce (there are some), but I guess that might make it too long. (A couple family trees would be helpful too.)

I generally prefer classics, with more complex plotting, but for the short form, I found this to be a provocative, well-written, and engaging listen. I listened while packing to move, and the story was intense enough to distract me at times, but not something that needed my full attention. The descriptions of musical composition and of aging were well done; they rounded out the story and gave it richness.
I saw it as a modern fable, so the far-fetched ending didn't bother me. The reader was great. Definitely a worthwhile listen.
