Eleven volumes of this popular history in cloth bindings with dust jackets.
The Oxford History of England is one of the most prominent and acclaimed modern history series, written by many of the then-leading historians of each period.
The series was commissioned by Oxford University Press and edited by Sir George Clark, with the first volume (his own The Later Stuarts, 1660–1714) appearing in 1934. The original aim was to produce 14 volumes, taking the story up to 11:00 p.m. on August 4, 1914, the moment when Britain declared war on Germany. In 1965 a fifteenth volume, taking the story up to 1945 was added, and in the 1980s the first volume was superseded by two separate books. Several of the other volumes have been amended and released in new editions over the years.
Many of the volumes are now considered to be key classic works for their respective periods. In recent years some of the volumes have been released as stand-alone works, and a New Oxford History of Englandhas been commissioned.
