"The Wars of the Roses; or, Stories of the Struggle of York and Lancaster" by J. G. Edgar is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the tumultuous period of the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic conflicts between the rival houses of York and Lancaster in England. The narrative aims to engage young readers, particularly boys, and brings to life the events and key figures of a critical time in English history, such as Richard Plantagenet, the Duke of York, and Margaret of Anjou. The beginning of the book sets the stage for the conflict by detailing the birth of Henry VI in 1421 and the subsequent struggles for power that arose from his reign. The text describes the notable figures such as the Duke of York and the political machinations of Margaret of Anjou, illustrating the familial disputes and ambitions that ultimately lead to civil unrest. As tensions rise, the narrative introduces the various factions and their leaders, along with hints of upcoming battles and the resulting chaos that will engulf England during this historical period.
