| Summary |
"A Short History of England, Ireland and Scotland" by Mary Platt Parmele is a historical account written in the late 19th century." This work aims to provide readers with a concise overview of the development and key events in the histories of England, Ireland, and Scotland, emphasizing the interwoven themes of religion and economics that have shaped these nations throughout history. "The opening of the book introduces the concept that the history of England is deeply rooted in struggles against oppression, particularly concerning both financial extortion and religious violations." The author sets the stage by referencing prehistoric Britain and the eventual Roman invasion led by Julius Caesar, outlining the early resistance of the British people against foreign dominion and leading into the significant impact of Christianity and the Teutonic invasions. This narrative frames the transformative processes that England underwent, ultimately guiding readers towards an understanding of the complex history that preceded the modern British state.
