Reader’s Guide to British History includes approximately 1,200 entries on a range of significant and much-discussed topics, from the time of Ancient and Roman Britain to the present day. This encyclopedic work covers England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland (up to the Republic), as well as other issues relevant to foreign affairs and imperial/Commonwealth topics, and explores the political, social, cultural, artistic, and scientific disciplines of historical investigation. Entries vary in scope; some evaluate modern studies of broad subjects across the entire span of their history, while others examine specific eras, movements, people, and events.
