Bücher der Reihe New Oxford History of England

The dramatic period 1225-1360 in Britain witnessed Simon de Montfort's challenge to the crown, Edward II's deposition and death, and more. It also saw the development of the state, with the emergence of parliament. This work provides a study of this period, illuminating themes of politics, economics, war, and society.

The book opens in 1886, as the Empire is poised to celebrate Victoria's golden jubilee, and ends in 1918 at the close of the 'war to end all wars', with England knowing that an era has conclusively ended. It portrays every aspect of the nation's life - political, social, and cultural.
