This E-text was created by Doug Levy
"Youth Folks' History of England" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book offers a narrative of significant events and figures in English history, aimed at a younger audience, making complex historical themes accessible and engaging. From the conquests of Julius Caesar to the Norman Conquest, this work illustrates the evolution of England through vivid storytelling and character portrayals. The beginning of the narrative introduces Julius Caesar, a brave Roman general who invades Britain around 55 B.C. The text describes his strong soldiers and the fierce resistance from the local Britons. Despite the chaotic battle, the Romans manage to establish dominance, albeit briefly, as they struggle against the rugged terrain and the fierce spirit of the inhabitants. It highlights the cultural clash between the Romans and Britons, setting the stage for subsequent chapters that delve into the lasting impacts of Roman rule, the arrival of the Angles and Saxons, and the eventual Norman Conquest, thus laying the foundation for English history that unfolds throughout the book.
