Smollett's A Complete History of England, the great novelist-historian turns chronicles of kings, parliaments and wars into propulsive narrative. The narrative voice remains compelling. Drawing the story towards the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, he traces how decisions in council chambers and on campaign fields forged the institutions and character of the nation.
