A History of England
A History of England (1997–2002) is a series of reprints of twelve classic, magisterial volumes of different periods of English history, together constituting a continuous history from ancient Roman times to the end of the 20th century. The volumes were selected by, and under the general editorship of, British historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, and published by the Folio Society. Fernandez-Armesto made his choices on the basis of “variety” and from among historians “eminent in their day and influential since”. They are “not meant to be consistent or even compatible”, but are all “likely to endure ”. The twelve volumes. 1.

"(This section provides a list of alternative academic recounts of English history, so that an individual can compare and conduct broad research surrounding particular periods of interest rather than limiting themselves to the provided narrative alone. As the Folio volumes provide a more generalised overview of each period of history, this section will be beneficial as it will allow individuals to quickly source more detailed academic recounts of specific events in English History that are only briefly mentioned within the  volumes.)"
