Originally published in 1950 and as a third edition in 1967, this volume traces the evolution of the English nation – the amalgamation of differing races and the unification of warring tribal princedoms into one monarchy, the stimulus of foreign invasion and the triumph of one common tongue in the rivalry of languages and dialects.



Originally published in 1950 and as a third edition in 1967, this volume traces the evolution of the English nation – the amalgamation of differing races and the unification of warring tribal princedoms into one monarchy under the stress of competition for power, the disciplinary influence of Christianity, the stimulus of foreign invasion, the compression of conquest, the centralisation of government, the standardisation of institutions, the interchange of trade, and the triumph of one common tongue in the rivalry of languages and dialects.

One of the most distinguished medievalists has undertaken the task of setting out the whole sweep of English history from the first prehistoric immigrants to the accession of Elizabeth. The Time Educational Supplement

Provides as judicious and as accurate a survey as anyone has a right to expect within this compass. Dr. Cam concentrates above all on political and constitutional growth, about which she is specially qualified to speak with authority. The Guardian
