This is history as it should be but so rarely is. Never, since Richard Cobb's great books on ancien regime France, has an English historian written on the history of a foreign country so much from the inside, with such intense love and flair and intimacy. The result is a gourmet's delight of a book: to be devoured greedily and digested at length and with pleasure David Starkey This is a vivid blend of grand narrative and colourful anecdote, written with pace, verve and a sharp sense of time and place. Dr Goodwin has dug deep in the archives, re-read the chronicles and come up with fresh insights that bring the politics and culture of early-modern Spain into a new alignment.
