A core introductory textbook that provides students with a concise
overview of the full sweep of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh
history, from pre-Roman times right through to the present day. Jeremy
Black offers a balanced and absorbing account of a group of islands,
their peoples, their extraordinary shared past and their remarkable
impact on the rest of the world.
This is an ideal set text for dedicated modules on British history, or a
supplementary text for broader modules on European history, which may be
offered at all levels of an undergraduate history or European studies
degree. In addition it is a crucial resource for students who may be
studying the history of Britain for the first time as part of a taught
postgraduate degree in British or European history.
