«1000 Years of Annoying the French» is the historical and humorous essay by Stephen Clarke, published by Black Swan in paperback (688 pages, in English).
The book covers ten centuries of rivalry between France and England to debunk, with irony, some widespread historical myths: that the Battle of Hastings was a French victory, that the British were to blame for the death of Joan of Arc, or that the guillotine was invented in France.
The work originally appeared in 2010; this edition is from 2011.
For readers who want to approach Franco-British history without solemnity, with the humour and irony that characterise Stephen Clarke's work.
Stephen Clarke is a British author. He writes mainly about France. He published six novels featuring a British protagonist named Paul West.
