Edited by G. Huehns, this scholarly volume draws from two of Hyde's monumental works — his sweeping historical account of the conflict between Crown and Parliament, and his candid, introspective autobiography — offering readers an intimate window into the turbulent mid-seventeenth century. The selections illustrate Hyde's remarkable gift for character portraiture, as he renders vivid and often penetrating assessments of the key figures who shaped the era, from King Charles I to Oliver Cromwell. Written with the measured authority and moral seriousness of a statesman who lived through the events he describes, the prose carries both the weight of personal loss and the analytical clarity of a trained legal mind. This edition serves as an ideal introduction to Clarendon's thought and style, situating his work within the broader tradition of English historical writing and making his essential voice accessible to modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887915086043,"sku":"2026770002129-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6cb6b8c1-27c6-4558-b3e2-87aece5d42f9.png?v=1781748997","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770002129-secondhand-clarendon-selections-from-the-history-of-the-rebellion-and-civil-wars-and-the-life-by-himself","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
