Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, chronicles the tumultuous years of the English Civil War with remarkable first-hand authority, having served as a senior advisor to both King Charles I and Charles II. His narrative uncovers the political intrigues, military campaigns, and personal dramas that defined one of Britain's most convulsive periods, offering an intimate portrait of royalist England from a man who lived at its very centre. Edited by G. Huehns and published as part of Oxford's prestigious World's Classics series, this edition presents Clarendon's rich, sweeping prose in an accessible and authoritative format. It remains an indispensable primary source for students and enthusiasts of seventeenth-century British history alike.
