| A Treasury of Historic Documents. Britain's rich historical heritage is vividly witnessed in the great archive and manuscript collections found in such institutions as the Public Record Office, British Library, National Library of Scotland, Scottish Record Office and National Library of Wales. From King Arthur, Alfred the Great, and William the Conqueror, to the end of Empire, swinging England of the 1960s and multi-cultural Britain, this volume displays, in chronological order, key documents which illuminate defining moments in British history. The documents are accompanied by lively commentaries by experts and curators placing the material in context and explaining its significance. Alongside such major treasures as Domesday Book and Magna Carta are many less-well known but none the less fascinating items such as Oscar Wilde's calling card and the last letter of Mary Queen of Scots. Superbly illustrated in colour throughout, with a brief introduction, this beautiful authoritative and accessible book will appeal to anyone with an interest in history, politics and culture.
