This is a major student edition of the text described as 'the first
modern classic of English history'. Bacon's penetration into human
motives, his life-long experience of politics and government, and
his remarkable literary skills, render this History of the Reign of
King Henry VII a major work of English literature and an important
document in the history of political thought. The introduction
places Bacon's History in the context of Renaissance
historiography, revealing its debt to Tacitus, and shows Bacon's
originality in re-ordering traditional material to make a coherent
psychological analysis of the King's actions. In addition to the
usual series features and supporting contextual material (including
relevant Essays by Bacon), generous editorial footnotes explain the
historical and political issues of the reign of Henry VII, and a
substantial glossary clarifies Bacon's rich but sometimes
unfamiliar vocabulary.
