An interesting set of essays detailing British history up to the twentieth century. (

Scholarly but dull and dry. Even when I've used it as a reference for point topics, I've never found it to be of great help or insight. I know it flies in the face of many who are far more versed in history than I, but it's one of my least favorite history books. (

As with all the Oxford books this one is a keen resource to have on your shelf if you love British history. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

In Roman times Britain had as many people as at its peak in the Middle Ages. For four centuries it was an integral part of a single political system that stretched from Turkey to Portugal and from the Red Sea to the Tyne and beyond.
