Book Description
Published just after the execution of King Charles I in 1649, Eikon Basilike is a defence of the king’s motivations and actions prior to and during the British civil wars. Nine chapters of Eikonoklastes, John Milton’s response to Eikon Basilike, are also included in this edition. Here Milton, writing from a republican perspective, attacks the substance and style of the King’s Book. These fascinating texts are now available in an edition that also includes a rich selection of historical documents. This Broadview edition’s critical introduction discusses the publication history and both seventeenth-century and current debates regarding the work and its authorship, while the appendices provide a generous selection of contemporary responses to Eikon Basilike and accounts of the king’s trial and scaffold speech.

Book Description
EIKON... the story of a lost miracle... In the final days of World War II, millions of dollars worth of priceless art and artifacts were looted by Nazis retreating through Central Europe, by triumphant Russian armies invading the German homeland, and by hundreds of American GIs—soldiers who often had no idea of the importance or value of what they had “liberated”. Most of these treasures have never been seen again. This, the story of one such treasure, begins in the sun-starved depths of Medieval Russia where the look in a young girl’s eyes is caught and carried across five centuries, creating miracles, causing murders. The story reaches a climax in the office politics of 1990s Washington, where a desperate investigation by improbable means uncovers a final miracle. ###
