CORONATION: A History of the British Monarchy
A comprehensive history that sets each coronation into its political, social, religious and cultural context. The story is one of constant re-invention as the service has had to respond to all the changes in fortune of the monarchy or the country: everything from legitimizing usurpers to reconciling a Catholic rite to the tenets of Protestantism, and more. 24 pages of photos, some in color.
