Few publishing endeavours are as ambitious — or as magnificently executed — as The Folio Society's landmark multi-volume A History of England, a sweeping chronicle of one nation's story told across twelve authoritative volumes by some of Britain's most distinguished historians. From the Anglo-Saxon foundations mapped by M.T. Clanchy and the medieval world illuminated by M.H. Keen, through the Tudor transformations of G.R. Elton and G.M. Trevelyan's masterly survey of the Georgian and Victorian ages, each volume presents a distinct era with scholarly rigour and narrative flair, together forming an unbroken tapestry stretching from the earliest settlements to the twentieth century. Volume I: Britannia, a History of Roman Britain by Sheppard Frere (1999); Volume II: Anglo-Saxon England by Peter Hunter Blair (1997); Introduction by Simon Keynes; Volume III: Early Medieval England by M. T. Clanchy (1997); Volume IV: England in the Later Middle Ages by M. H. Keen (1997); Volume V: England Under the Tudors by G. R. Elton (1997); Volume VI: England Under the Stuarts by George Macaulay Trevelyan (1996); Volume VII: England in the Eighteenth Century by Roy Porter (1998); Volume VIII: England in the Age of Improvement 1783–1867 by Asa Briggs (1999); Volume IX: Victorian England by G. M. Young (1999); Volume X: Edwardian England by Elie Halevy (1999); Volume XI: England 1914–1945 by A. J. P. Taylor (2000); Volume XII: England 1945–2000 by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto (2001).
