A new edition of this best-selling history of Britain, from Roman
times, now updated to cover the first decade of the 21st century.
The Oxford History of Britain tells the story of Britain and its
people over two thousand years, from the coming of the Roman
legions to the present day. Encompassing political, social,
economic, and cultural developments throughout the British Isles,
the dramatic narrative is taken up in turn by ten leading
historians who offer the fruits of the best modern scholarship to
the general reader in an authoritative form. A vivid, sometimes
surprising picture emerges of a continuous turmoil of change in
every period, and the wider social context of political and
economic tension is made clear. But consensus, no less than
conflict, is a part of the story: in focusing on elements of
continuity down the centuries, the authors bring out that special
awareness of identity which has been such a distinctive feature of
British society. By relating both these factors in the British
experience, and by exploring the many ways in which Britain has
shaped and been shaped by contact with Europe and the wider world,
this landmark work brings the reader face to face with the past,
and the foundations of modern British society. This updated new
edition (by the original editor) adds great richness by taking the
story down from the economic crisis of 2008 to the conflict over
Europe at the present day.
