New Oxford History of England

Book series on the history of the British Isles

The New Oxford History of England is a book series on the history of the British Isles. It was commissioned in 1992 and produced eleven volumes by 2010, but as of March 2024, no more volumes have appeared.^[1] It is the successor to the Oxford History of England (1934–86).

Trevor Burnard argues the series is better historiography than the Oxford History of the United States.^[2]
