Description
This classic work, originally written in 1938, lays out the main outlines and most important turning points of British history – from the point of view of the ordinary people – in a clear and jargon-free style. Fascinating for the general reader and the historian alike, A People’s History of England – which has been continuously in print for more than fifty years – is the indispensable work on the subject. ‘Nobody has since written a single volume history of the country to compare with it’ Eric Hobsbawm ‘The best history of England for the ordinary reader’ Christopher Hill
