The Oxford History of England forms a continuous history from the Roman period to the Second World War, and has been described as `the most authoritative general history of England'. Each of the sixteen volumes is the work of a distinguished scholar; and the series as a whole, edited by the late Sir George Clark, forms an unparalleled repository of knowledge. The Consolidated Index to The Oxford History of England crowns this immense work of scholarship. It is fully comprehensive, covering in detail the enormous variety of themes and topics which make up nearly two thousand years of history. This final volume in the series makes the wealth of information available in its predecessors readily accessible, and will prove an invaluable tool to scholars and general readers alike.
