Synopsis
Burnet's History of His Own Time is indispensable to any serious study of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Burnet was uniquely placed to record the history of England and Scotland from the reign of Charles II to Queen Anne; his eager moralizing and forceful prose recall the crisis of Protestantism that sparked that great conflagration.

From the Publisher
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

History of His Own Time
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. History of His Own Time (1991) by Gilbert Burnet ? Condition: Good (Crappy Old Books) If the 17th century sometimes feels like a blur of wigs, wars, and wobbly monarchs, Gilbert Burnet is here to spill the tea. History of His Own Time (Everyman, 1991, ISBN: 9780460871723) is the gossipy, sprawling, and surprisingly readable chronicle of a man who didn?t just watch history happen?he was in the thick of it. Burnet, a Scottish clergyman and eventual Bishop of Salisbury, rubbed shoulders with kings, parliamentarians, dissenters, and revolutionaries. His memoir-history hybrid covers everything from the Civil Wars to the Glorious Revolution, with the sort of sharp opinions you?d expect from someone who thought footnotes were for cowards. What makes Burnet so fun is his candour: he praises, he slags off, he digresses, and he occasionally settles scores. This isn?t dry academic history?it?s part diary, part political tract, part running commentary. One moment he?s analysing policy, the next he?s describing Charles II?s character with a bite that feels startlingly modern. If Samuel Pepys was the man with the diary, Burnet was the man with the receipts. Now, about the copy: it comes from the irreverent vaults of Crappy Old Books and is rated Good . Which means: the cover shows signs of wear (a scuff here, a softened corner there, the kind of honest marks you?d expect from a book that?s followed kings through crises), the spine has been flexed, and the pages have mellowed to a pleasing parchmenty tone. But the text is intact, the binding firm, and no Restoration gossip has been lost. No spilled claret, no royal wax seals, no duelling scars in the margins?just a sturdy, seasoned book, ready to dish centuries-old drama. In short: History of His Own Time is Burnet at his gossipy, learned, and occasionally self-important best?a window into a turbulent century told by someone who couldn?t resist telling you what he really thought. This copy is in Good condition: worn but dependable, like a Restoration wig slightly askew but still very much in place. Another candid classic from Crappy Old Books, where even bishops can?t resist a bit of dirt-dishing. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. Seller Inventory # 4487
