Description
The Hampdens: A Historiette is a historical fiction novel written by Harriet Martineau and first published in 1880. The story is set in the 17th century and follows the lives of the Hampden family, who are known for their loyalty to the English monarchy. The novel explores the family's relationships, their political views, and their involvement in the English Civil War. The main character, John Hampden, is a Member of Parliament who opposes King Charles I's attempt to collect taxes without the consent of Parliament. His resistance leads to a conflict that ultimately leads to the Civil War. The novel also features other historical figures such as Oliver Cromwell and King Charles I. Martineau's writing style is descriptive and detailed, providing insight into the political and social climate of the time. She also explores the themes of loyalty, duty, and sacrifice, as well as the consequences of political actions. The Hampdens: A Historiette is a well-researched historical novel that provides an engaging and informative look into the lives of the Hampden family during a pivotal moment in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
