Published by Oxford University Press, The Oxford History of England (1934–65) was a notable book series on the history of the United Kingdom. The series was originally intended to span from Roman Britain to the outbreak of the First World War in fourteen volumes written by eminent historians. It was subsequently expanded and updated, however, by further volumes and editions, taking the narrative as far as the end of the Second World War. Alan John Percivale Taylor's English History 1914–1945 was an enormous best-seller and in its first year in print sold more than all of the previous volumes of the Oxford History of England combined.
