This
classic work lays out the main outlines and most important turning points of British
history - from the point of view of the ordinary people - in a clear and jargon-free
style. Fascinating for the general reader and the historian alike, A People's
History of England - which has been continuously in print for more than fifty
years - is the indispensable work on the subject.
