History Of Civilization In England V1 - Henry Thomas Buckle

""History of Civilization in England"" is a two-volume work written by Henry Thomas Buckle, a 19th century English historian. The first volume, published in 1857, covers the period from the Roman invasion of Britain to the end of the 15th century. Buckle's aim in writing this book was to provide a comprehensive account of the development of English civilization, including its political, social, and intellectual aspects. He argues that the progress of civilization is determined by the laws of nature and the influence of climate, geography, and other physical factors. Buckle also emphasizes the importance of intellectual and cultural factors, such as the impact of religion, literature, and the arts on the development of English society. The book is notable for its broad scope and its attempt to provide a scientific and objective analysis of history. However, Buckle's theories have been criticized for their determinism and for neglecting the role of individual agency in history.
