The Oxford History of England. English History. 1914-1945

London England: Oxford at Clarendon Press, 1965. Hardback light foxing The Oxford History of England, in its original project, ended in 1914. Now there is enough material to carry the story, with the same scholarly integrity to 1945. During ten of the thirty-one years the English people were involved in World wars; for nineteen of the years they lived in the shadow of mass unemployment. These themes and the politics which sprang from them shape the main narrative of the book. The author treats also the life of the English people and shows how this took on new forms without concious direction or often against it. The author believes that even the most recent history can be presented in detachment. His purpose has been to discover what happened and how it happened, not to distrbute blame or even praise. 719pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
