Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Alan Sutton Edition. Paperback. Foxing to end inside covers. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. Froude was one of the leading historians of the Victorian age - and one of the most controversial. Now his story of the Armada from the Spanish viewpoint, edited and put into historical perspective by A. L. Rowse, is republished to coincide with the Armada's four hundredth anniversay. This book, first published in 1892, was the first to balance the nuermous English accounts of the subject. Illuminated by his knowledge of Spain, his researches into original Spanish sources and his own knowledge of seamanship, the story is not only enthralling reading, but a valuable contribution to the history of the Armada. Providing a text for the 'Spanish Story' are Froude's lectures on 'English Seamen in the Sixteenth Century', given when he was Regius Professor at Oxford, and his essay on Antonio Perez and the riddle of his sudden dismissal as Philip II's Secretary of State. A. L. Rowse discusses the background to these pieces and provides the answer to the riddle, discovered since Froude's death. 262 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
