Oxford History of England
by Claire O'Toole19 items Last modified November 18, 2017The Oxford History of England is a modern history series of the British Isles, with each individual volume written by historians of that 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 4 August 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 In 1965 a fifteenth volume, taking the story up to 1945 was added, and in the 1980s the first volume was superseded by two separate books.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.
