John Richard Green was an English historian. He was the author of seven books although \u003ci\u003eHistory of the English People\u003c\/i\u003e was arguably one of his finest. Although Green began his career as a clergyman, he was always an enthusiastic student of history. Ultimately he decided to change his chosen profession, quit the clergy and became the librarian at Lembeth. Writing history was always part of his plan and he began straightaway to bringing those plans to fruition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen he undertook the project that resulted in this book, he began with the thought in mind that there were not enough published and reputable materials about the history of England. \"For the conquest of Britain by the English our authorities are scant and imperfect.\" Therefore, he took it upon himself to complete a comprehensive and well sourced document about English history. While completed later in his life, this book (along with his last of his books), were written during a period of ill health. Due to this, his wife, Alice Stopford, helped complete his writing when he was too ill to continue. That means that some of this book is written by her hand as well which makes it an interesting exploration of England and perhaps the first one written by both a man and a woman (although she is not given author credit). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly the reader can determine if Green was truly successful in his quest to achieve a complete work (with verifiable and strong sources) about the life and history of the English People.  His work stands the test of time as a monument to the life and dedication of one man, relentless in his quest to pursue his dreams and ultimately make the world a better place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
