So far I'm enjoying G.M. Trevelyan's History of England and I'm on Chapter 5 the Second Nordic Invasion (which was the Vikings this time). Although I find that his shilling for Christianity being a force of progress is somewhat biased. It was the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans which were more accurately progressive, these particular works that were ultimately saved by the monks, not the religion which they practiced.

>>25512039 I mean he mentions how the monks did save alot of the works from antiquity but seems to think the Church was also progressive in itself which idk, I kind of disagree.

>>25512074 Well why do you think it was a force of progress

>>25512131 It is, which is why I have doubts as to whether or not it was actually progressive, when I think of progressive I tend to think something along the lines of liberal capitalist democratic societies.
