English History (McGraw-Hill's College Core Books) - Softcover

A succinct review of English history from earliest times to the present. (English history is the term customarily used; technically, "British" history begins in 1707, when Great Britain and Scotland were joined). Most 4-year colleges and many 2-year colleges offer a survey course, usually 2-semester, on sophomore, junior, and senior levels. The course is taken by history and English majors, by others as an elective. This book will provide the essentials of the subject to supplement lecture and text. Its compact size and low price will make it attractive and affordable as a study aid and as a concise text.
