The second edition of this anthology of British documents has maintained its format of including both pictorial and written sources. With selections drawn from both constitutional and cultural history, the text acquaints students with the facts of history and invites them to examine evidence as historians do. A straightforward chronological arrangement allows instructors to develop their own thematic emphasis and orientation - while introductions give students the information they need to understand the documents. The new edition is available in a two volume format. This edition also contains more documents on social, cultural and women’s history as well as more documents on the history of Ireland and Scotland.
