Summary
Volume I of our three-volume survey of British history covers political, economic, intellectual, and social history from prehistoric times to 1688. The third edition is updated to reflect current scholarship and interdisciplinary findings, and includes a greater emphasis on archeology, linguistics, literature and law. This edition also includes an expanded coverage of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, providing both a comparative and contextual framework that firmly
locates the history of the British Isles within the broader tradition of European history.
