Cameos from English History

From Rollo to Edward II

About this book

Scenes from English history from Rollo the Norseman to the fall of Edward II, chosen for the moments that stay in a young mind: a king's oath, a siege, a betrayal, a coronation. Yonge wrote her cameos over many years for readers she expected to go on to the chroniclers themselves. She is a partisan of the twelfth century and does not pretend otherwise. Fifty-nine plates after painters including Turner and Maclise carry the same English scenes the text describes, from Trafalgar to Rouen and the fields near Gisors.
