PREFACE. 
 
 o-^^c 
 
 The idea of this little book was suggested to me by the request made by a friend two or three years 
 ago, that I should make out for her a list of historical novels illustrating different periods of English history. 
 After a few titles were arranged chronologically by reigns, it was natural to arrange by the side the names 
 of the sovereigns themselves in the form of genealogical tables ; and the addition of a few of the best histories, 
 biographies, and historical essays completed the plan. I intended at first to give novels and poems only in the 
 field of English history; but it seemed that a parallel column, illustrating contemporary history, might be 
 acceptable to many. 
 
 The arrangement is that of four parallel columns upon two opposite pages : the first column containing 
 the English sovereigns, in the several houses, in the form of genealogical tables; the second, good historical 
 reading, whether histories, biographies, or essays ; the third, novels, poems, and dramas illustrating that period 
 of English history, — also, so far as possible, arranged chronologically ; the fourth, the same class of works 
 illustrating contemporary history. In some cases, where one column was exceptionally full or meagre, I have 
 varied from this arrangement, and have been enabled to fill space which would otherwise have been left 
 
4 PREFACE. 
 
 empty, with tables, e.g., of French and Scottish sovereigns, which it was thought would be found service- 
 able. Pages 20 and 21 are occupied with a special table of the descendants of Edward III., to illustrate 
 Shakespeare's historical plays. An introduction contains a list of works of a more general character in 
 English history. 
 
 My object has been, not an exhaustive list, but a list of really good books ; and I have gone upon the plan 
 of excluding books of doubtful merit, preferring to run the risk of omitting desirable works rather than of 
 including undesirable ones. No doubt there are mistakes and omissions, and I shall be grateful to any person 
 who will call my attention to defects of either kind. I have confined myself for the most part to English 
 and American authors, adding, however, a few of the most important and familiar works in other languages. 
 Works of eminent authors are given as a matter of course, without regard to their merit. Further, in the 
 case of writers like James, Ainsworth, and Miss Miihlbach, who have produced a large number of historical 
 novels, many of which are of doubtful merit, it was impracticable for me to find out with certainty which were 
 good and which were not ; they cover, moreover, so large a field of history, that it seemed best to give the 
 lists complete. Novels upon American history I have not thought it worth while to include, partly because 
 they lie outside of association with English history, which I wished to illustrate, partly because it would 
 amount to hardly more than copying a list of Cooper's and Simms' novels, crowded for the most part into the 
 seven years of the Eevolutionary war. 
 
PREFACE. 6 
 
 The work ends with the " Kevolutionary Epoch" and the fall of Napoleon. Novels referring to the 
 period since this time are for the most part contemporary novels, rather than distinctively historical. And, 
 although novels of contemporary life, like Pelham, Pendennis, and Middlemareh, present the most genuine 
 historical picture, and will be consulted above everything else by future readers for a living portraiture of 
 the times, yet they do not belong properly in a list like this. If I once began upon them, I must end by 
 naming all the good novels of the day. For this reason I omit the novels of De Foe, Smollett, Fielding, and 
 Richardson ; they belong to contemporary rather than historical literature. I intended at first to distinguish 
 certain books as juveniles, but found it impracticable. For the matter of that, I would rather recommend 
 Scott, Kingsley, and Erckmann-Chatrian to young people than most of the books that are written expressly 
 for them. It may only be noticed that all the works of Miss Yonge, Miss Aguilar, Mrs. Charles, and 
 especially Mrs. Manning, may be unhesitatingly recommended to the young. 
 
 In preparing these lists I have found the " Class List for English Prose Fiction," issued by the Boston 
 Public Library, of the greatest assistance. Several friends have kindly given me titles, and I desire to acknowl- 
 edge special indebtedness to Miss Emma F. Ware, of Milton, Mass., who went over the whole ground with me, 
 and whose extensive and accurate knowledge of English history and literature enabled her to give me valu- 
 able assistance. 
 
6 PREFACE. 
 
 In the genealogical tables, with their dates, I have followed Grote, Stammtafeln (Leipzig, 1877), except 
 in the table upon pages 20 and 21, which has been compiled from various sources : in cases of doubt Gairdner 
 being regarded as of highest authority. In spelling, the fdrms familiar in literature have been used. The 
 sign t indicates date of death ; other abbreviations used are : m. for married, d. for daughter, E. for Earl, 
 D. for Duke. 
 
INTRODUCTIOK 
 
 3i«<0 
 
 Altogether the best general history of England is Green's History of the English People (4 vols.). The 
 Short History of the English People, by the same author, is an earlier and less complete work, but of the 
 same high merit. Both have the defect that, while aiming to present leading topics and movements, they often 
 neglect chronological sequence. Bright's English History for Public Schools (3 vols.) is an excellent com- 
 pendium, arranged by reigns ; so also is Brewer's Student's Hume. A very good companion volume is Burt's 
 Synoptical History of England, giving a brief chronology of each reign, with the synchronisms of European 
 history. Both Green and Bright give abundant chronological and genealogical tables and maps, which will 
 answer every purpose for the general reader. The best history of Scotland is Burton's (8 vols.). . Miss Thomp^ 
 son's England and Miss M'Arthur's Scotland, belonging to Freeman's Historical Series, are the best brief 
 histories of these countries. Dickens' Child's History of England is written in his entertaining style, Gardiner's 
 Young Folks History of England is of the highest authority and value. 
 
 The great histories of England by Hiime (Tory), Lingard (Catholic), and Knight (Liberal) may be read in 
 "whole or in part. For one who desires a series of short works by different authors, the following list may be

 recommended. Every book is by a person who has made a special study of this particular period. The letters 
 (E. S.) — also in the body of the work — indicate that the book belongs to the so-called "Epochs Series." 
 In some cases other small books, belonging to contemporary history, are placed in a parallel column : — 
 
 Church : The Beginning of the Middle Ages, E. S. (or 
 
 Cartels : The Moman Empire), will form a good general 
 
 introduction. 
 Mrs. Armitage : The Childhood of the English Nation (or 
 
 Freeman : Early English History and Short History of 
 
 the Norman Conquest). 
 Stubbs : The Early Plantagenets, E. S. 
 Pearson : English History in the Fourteenth Century. 
 Gairdner : The Houses of Lancaster and Yorlc, E. S. 
 Seebohm : The Protestant Revolution, E. S. 
 Creighton : The Age of Elizabeth, E. S.

 Brief characteristics of the principal histories will be found in Adams' Manual of Historical Literature, 
 Mullinger's Authorities (Part II. of English History for Students) is designed rather for students than for 
 general readers. Gardiner's Introduction to the Study of English History (Part I, of the same work) is an 
 admirable sketch, designed for those who are already familiar with the subject. See also his article, in the 
 EneyclopcBdia Britannica, upon the modern history of England, and Freeman's upon its mediaeval history. 
 Baily's Succession to the English Crown will be found of great service ; for example, in connection with Shake- 
 speare's historical plays. For those who desire greater minuteness than is afforded by the works cited, 
 George's Genealogical Tables are the best in English, and the Spruner-Menke historical atlas the best 
 that exists. Prof. Eeed's Lectures on English History and Tragic Poetry as Illustrated by Shakspeares 
 Historical Plays may be highly recommended. 
 
 Good series of biographies are Hook's Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury, Campbell's Lives of the 
 Chief-Justices and Lives of the Chancellors. Miss Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England and of Scotland 
 are very interesting, but do not rank high in historical value.

 The best short history is Freeman's Early English 
 Hiskiry ; the first volume of Freeman's Norman Conquest 
 is devoted to the Anglo-Saxon period, the second to the 
 reign of Edward the Confessor. Palgrave's History of the 
 Anglo-Saxons sympathizes with the Normans, while Free- 
 man is the champion of the English. Lappenberg's History 
 of England under the Anglo-Saxon Kings, translated from 
 the German, is a work of the highest merit. Turner's 
 History of the Anglo-Saxons has been the standard work, 
 but is antiquated in many respects ; it contains, however, a 
 valuable collection of facts. The most recent work upon 
 this period is Grant Allen's Anglo-Saxon Britain. 
 
 Elton's Origins of English Hstory treats of the history 
 of the island down to the Anglo-Saxon conquest ; Green's 
 Jfaking of the English People is devoted to the period of 
 the Heptarchy (449-828). 
 
 The best life of Alfred is Pauli's, translated from the 
 German. There is a good popular one by Thomas 
 Hughes.

 Works covering the Anglo-Saxon period, and continuing 
 through the middle ages or nearly so, are Pearson's History 
 of England during the Early and Middle Ages (2 vols.), 
 and Freeman's History of the Norman Conqxtest (5 vols.). 
 Creasy's History of England reached only two volumes, 
 completing the middle ages ; it is very good in constitu- 
 tional history. Mrs. Armitage's Childhood of the English 
 Nation is an admirable sketch, coming down to the twelfth 
 century. Miss Yonge's Cameos of English History (4 series) 
 contains agreeable narrations, covering the whole period of 
 the middle ages. Pearson's Historical Atlas of England 
 contains valuable matter not to be found in any other maps. 
 The first series of Freeman's Historical Essays contains 
 several essays upon this period. 
 
 Pauli's Pictures of Old England contains interesting 
 sketches of English life and foreign relations in the middle 
 ages.

 The most complete history of the conquest is contained 
 in the third volume of Freeman's Norman Conquest; the 
 fourth volume contains the reign of William the Conqueror. 
 He has just published a separate History of Williavi Rufus. 
 His Short History of the Norman Conquest is an excellent 
 sketch. Thierry's Conquest of England is a graphic and 
 interesting Avork, but rests upon theories which are not 
 now accepted. Lappenberg's England Undei' the Norman 
 Kings is the best special history of the period. Cobbe's 
 History of the Norman Kings has merit, but is written in 
 an inelegant style. 
 
 Palgrave's History of Normandy and England covers 
 the whole earlier history of these countries. Johnson's 
 Normans in Europe (E. S.) is one of the best of the series. 
 
 Church's Life of St. Anselm belongs to the period of 
 William I. and II. Froude's articles on Thomas Bcchet 
 and his Times in the Nineteenth Century (1877) have 
 been answered by Mr. Freeman in the Contemporary 
 Review (1878).

 For the original authorities for the middle ages consult 
 Mr. Gairdner's Early Chronicles of Europe {England). 
 For the earliest times the Venerable Bede's Ecclesiastical 
 History of the English Nation is the most valuable ; see 
 also Gildas for the story of the conquest. The Saxon 
 Chronicle comes down to the twelfth century. The most 
 important chronicles besides these are Florence of Worcester, 
 William of Malmeshury, and Henry of Huntingdon ; of all 
 these, translations can be easily found. For the later period 
 Matthew Eans , (the continuation of Roger of Wendover) 
 and the series of St. Alban's chroniclers are the most 
 important. "Welsh chroniclers are Geoffrey of Monmouth 
 (almost wholly a fabrication) and Giraldus Cambrensis.

 Mr. Gairdner's essays on The Lollards and The His-

 Froude's History of England embraces the period from 
 1529 to 1588. Creighton's Age of Elizabeth is a good short 
 history of Elizabeth's reign. Gairdner and Spedding's 
 Studies in English History, and Ewald's Stories from the 
 State Papers, belong principally to the Tudor and Stuart 
 periods. 
 
 Robertson's Charles V., Prescott's Ferdinand and Isa- 
 bella, Conquest of Mexico and of Peru, and Philip II., and 
 Motley's Dutch Republic and United Nethe^-lands belong 
 to this period. 
 
 The history of the Reformation may be best read in 
 Fisher's History of the Peformation and Seebohm's History 
 of the Protestant Revolution. For the Reformation in Eng- 
 land, Dixon's History of the Church of England (very 
 impartial) and Geikie's History of the English Reformation 
 (strongly partisan). See also Baird's Rise of the Huguenots. 
 
 Macaulay's Essays upon RanJces History of the Popes, 
 Hallam,, and Lord Burleigh ; Miss Aiken's Jlemoirs of the

 Ranke's History of England is principally upon this 
 period. 
 
 For the period to the accession of Charles II. the best 
 work is the series of histories by S. R. Gardiner : 1. From 
 the Accession of James I. to the Disgrace of Coke ; 2. Under 
 the Duke of Buckingham and Charles I. ; 3. Personal 
 Government of Charles I.; 4. Fall of the Monarchy of 
 Charles I. His Puritan Revolution (E. S.) is the best short 
 work. Cordery and Phillpott's King and Commoniocalth 
 is excellent. Masson's Life of Jlilton gives a detailed his- 
 tory of the times. Guizot's series of works contain: 1. Fng- 
 lish Revolution; 2. Oliver Cromwell; 3. Life of. Monk. 
 
 Macaulay has -essays upon Bacon, Milton, and Hampden; 
 Mozley, upon Strafford, Laud, and Cromwell; Rogers (in 
 Historical Gleanings, 2d series), upon Laud.

 Macaulay's Shtory of England coy ers the last half of the 
 seventeenth century. See also his essays on Sir William 
 Temple and Sir James Mackintosh. The sixth volume of 
 Masson's Z/i/e of Milton gives a good history of the reign 
 of Charles II. Fox's Life of James II., and Mackintosh's 
 History of the Revolution of 1688, ai-e important works. 
 
 Histories of the Reign of Queen Anne have been written 
 by Lord Stanhope and Mr. Burton. Coxe's 3Iemoirs of the 
 Duke of Marlborough belongs to this reign. 
 
 Good small works are, — Hale : The Fall of the Stuarts 
 (E. S.) ; Morris : The Age of Anne (E.'S.) ; and Creighton : 
 Life of Marlborough. 
 
 Pepys and Evelyns Diaries, and the essayists of Anne's
