| Summary/Abstract |
The history of Britain and Ireland is traditionally presented as a succession of dramatic changes, but in this reference work the reader will find instead an emphasis on the patterns of continuity. The sixty contributors have concerned themselves with political structures and social and economic forces, rather than with the highlights of ancient chronicles and more recent upheavals. The familiar outlines and landmarks of the past nevertheless remain: the Encyclopedia consists of seven chronological sections from prehistory to the present decade, completed by a biographical Who's Who. Each section is introduced with a survey or Overview describing the major features and trends of the period. Specialist articles follow, which interpret developments in the context of each of the following topics: Government and Politics; Warfare and International Relations; Economy, Society (including living conditions); Culture (including education). The interpretative articles are illustrated not only with specific visual records, buildings and portraiture, but also with representations of dress, housing, transport, and everyday objects, intended to give the reader as vivid a feeling as possible for each period consulted. Maps and genealogies are included wherever they are helpful.

| Summary/Abstract |
This book looks at the way clothes, jewellery and hairstyles have developed from simple, regular shapes made from natural materials and dyestuffs, to short lived fashions and statements of status made from artificial fibres and plastics. There's a look at the traditional styles of the Britons and Celts, the foreign influences of the Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans, working clothes through the ages, and the changing fashions of the rich and poor.

| Summary/Abstract |
On 7 September 1533, Anne Boleyn, the new wife of Henry VIII, gave birth to a baby girl. Henry was bitterly disappointed, for he believed that girls were not suitable to be rulers. The baby girl grew up to be Elizabeth I, the strongest and the cleverest of all the queens of England. During Elizabeth's reign, the country became peaceful and united after years of unrest, the Spanish Armada was defeated, trade and industry grew and the court became a centre for playwrights, artists and musicians.

| Summary/Abstract |
When the Vikings captured York in 866, it was already a busy merchant town. The Vikings built farms, workshops and wharves on the river bank where ships could unload goods. Many craftsmen produced things from everyday objects to rare and expensive items for the busy market. To Viking York, or Jorvik, came merchants from Ireland, Scandinavia, Germany and beyond. Soon it became the most important Viking town in England.
