A History of England, Volume I: Prehistory to 1714

The first volume in a two-volume set, this book provides a broad, narrative account of English history from the first settlers in the Paleolithic Age to the 1714. It draws on the most up-to-date primary and secondary research to illuminate the full range of England’s social, economic, cultural, and political past, and focuses on how and why events occurred. It stresses dominant themes in English history without espousing any single interpretation, and considers events in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland as they affected developments in England.
