New Oxford History of England explained

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).
