THE OXFORD HISTORY OF ENGLAND has been undertaken in the belief that the time has come for a new full-seale survey of English history. It is now generally agreed that economic, intellectual, and social developments are at least as important as the political and constitutional happenings with which the older histories are mainly concerned. This point of view will be reflected in the OXFORD HISTORY OF ENGLAND ; while political and con- stitutional history will be in no way neglected, full space will be given to the description of economic conditions, manners and social life, and the arts and sciences. The contributors are historians of high authority. Every volume will be based on a study of original authorities, will incorporate the results of the most recent specialist research, and will be equipped with maps, and with an exceptionally full critical bibliography. The average length of volumes will be from 450 to 500 pages, and the published price of each volume will be izs. 6d. net. General Editor: G. N.
