Title: The Trial of Charles I Author: Roger Lockyer Narrator: David Thorn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 55 minutes Release date: January 1, 2012 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Europe Publisher's Summary: A contemporary account taken from the memoirs of Sir Thomas Herbers and Hohn Rushworth. Taken from two main sources, John Rushworth's Historical Collection (circa 1659) and Sir Thomas Herbert's memoirs (circa 1678), this book will primarily be of interest to those who have a deep curiosity about this historic event, unprecedented in the history of European nations at that time. It chronicles - sometimes dramatically, sometimes poignantly - the king's imprisonment after his defeat in the civil war, the events and paliamentary debates leading up to the charges of high treason being brought against the king, and a virtual transcript of the trial itself - bringing into our living-rooms the spirited arguments between Charles and the president of the court, Lord Bradshaw. We are witness to the king's last hours, his execution in Whitehall - preceeded by his short speech to those around the black-draped scaffold - and so to the poignant scene of his funeral at Windsor Castle. Rushworth was a lawyer/historian and one time clerk-assistant to the House of Commons, later secretary to General Lord Fairfax, and for a short time, to Oliver Cromwell. Herbert was appointed by Parliament to attend the king as Groom of the Bedchamber during the king's captivity and served him faithfully to the end. Table of Contents: Chapter 01. Introduction and Foreword Chapter 02. From Carlsbrook to St. James Castle Chapter 03. The Trial Chapter 04. The Last Hours Chapter 05. The Execution Chapter 06. The Funeral Chapter 07. Appendices and Footnotes COMMENTARY Reviews for Alcazar AudioWorks' production of The Trial of Charles I The trial of Charles Stuart (Charles I) for treason against England had no precedent in Europe at the time. Three writers provide the accounts, including a transcript of the proceedings. History lovers will find a trove of precious Elizabethan language from the mid-1600s, a time when printed books barely existed. The eloquent prose comes to us via the skill of British narrator David Thorn. His narration conveys two features of the king one might not appreciate from the printed page, a heavy Scots accent and a stammer. Sometimes the legal discourses carry so much verbiage ("thereto," "heretofore," "whereas" . . . ) that they take on a humorous superfluity. The description of the separation of the king from his head has a linguistic delicacy incongruous with the act. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2011] "

Title: History of England from the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688, Volume 1C Author: David Hume Narrator: Various Readers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 21 hours 4 minutes Release date: January 1, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.17 of Total 6 Ratings of Narrator: 2.5 of Total 4 Genres: Europe Publisher's Summary: David Hume is one of the great philosophers of the Western intellectual tradition. His philosophical writings earned him lasting fame and renown; his historical writing earned his bread and butter. His "The History of England from the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688", published between 1754 and 1764, was immensely popular and Hume wrote that "the copy-money given me by the booksellers much exceeded any thing formerly known in England; I was become not only independent, but opulent." The six volume work has had numerous editions and is still in print today. David Hume and Thomas Babington Macaulay have frequently been compared as the premier English historians but we don't have to choose because Macaulay begins where Hume leaves off. This is Volume 1C which covers the reigns of Henry VII to Mary I. (Summary by Richard Carpenter)

Title: A History Of Britain: Volume 1: At The Edge Of The World? 3000BC - AD 1603 Author: Simon Schama Narrator: Timothy West Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 58 minutes Release date: December 1, 2004 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.38 of Total 8 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Europe Publisher's Summary: To look back at the past is to understand the present. In this vivid account of over 4,000 years of British history Simon Schama takes us on an epic journey which encompasses the very beginnings of the nation’s identity, when the first settlers landed on Orkney. From the successes and failures of the monarchy to the daily life of a Roman soldier stationed on Hadrian’s Wall, Schama gives a vivid, fascinating account of the many different stories and struggles that lie behind the growth of our island nation. Simon Schama’s hugely successful BBC 2 series has shown him to be one of our most original and exciting historians. Timothy West’s abridged reading of the book accompanying the series, introduced by Schama himself reading his own Preface, bears further testimony to his extraordinary gift for story-telling. 'Schama is a giant, a great thinking-machine and a golden lyricist as well' - Mail on Sunday.

Title: A History Of Britain: Volume 2 - The British Wars 1603-1776 Author: Simon Schama Narrator: Timothy West Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 52 minutes Release date: December 1, 2004 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 2 Genres: Europe Publisher's Summary: Timothy West reads the second volume of Simon Schama’s compelling chronicle of the British Isles. The British wars began on the morning of 23 July 1637, heralding two hundred years of battles waged within and away from our isles. Most would be driven by religious or political conviction, as Republicans and Royalists, Catholics and Protestants, Tories and Whigs, and colonialists and natives vied for supremacy. Of those battles not fought on home territory, a great number took place across Europe, America, India and also at sea. Schama’s examination of this turbulent period reveals how the British people eventually united in imperial enterprise, forming what he calls ‘Britannia Incorporated’. The story of that change evokes the memory of such enduringly influential people as Oliver Cromwell, as well as lesser known but equally extraordinary individuals. A story of revolution and reaction, progress and catastrophe, this is a vivid account of two centuries which changed Britain.
