A History of Britain I: At the Edge of the World
In this, the first book in his epic three-volume history, Simon Schama brings Britain's past to dramatic life with a wealth of compelling stories and vivid detail. Gripping and unapologetically personal, Schama's perspective moves from the early tribes and invasions of the British isles to the Norman Conquest; through the religious wars and turbulence of the Middle Ages to the sovereignties of Henry II, Richard I and King John; through the outbreak of the Black Death, which destroyed nearly half of Europe's population; through the reign of Edward I and the growth of national identity in Scotland and Wales; to the turbulent religious and dynastic conflicts of the Tudor Age, culminating in the glorious reign of Elizabeth I.


A History of Britain II: The British Wars
The beginning of the 17th century promised that England's golden age would long outlast its Elizabethan namesake. Within a few years, that promise would end in civil war, political unrest, and international conflict, a period of strife that would last for two centuries, but produce the modern British nation. In this swiftly moving narrative, the second installment in a three- volume companion to the BBC/History Channel television series, Simon Schama examines key events that would utterly change British life.

A History of Britain III: Fate of the Empire, 1776 to 2000
In The Fate of Empire, Schama illuminates the period of British history from 1770 to 2000 through a variety of historical themes and key British characters. Britain never had the kind of revolution experienced by France in 1789, but it did come close. In the mid-1770s the country was intoxicated by a great surge of political energy. Rediscovering England’s wildernesses, the intellectuals of the ‘Romantic generation’ also discovered the plight of the common man, turning Nature into a revolutionary force. This power of the cult of nature enabled two things – to make man see and explore Britain in a way unimaginable a generation before, and to pit democrat cosmopolitans against patriots.
