Bedarida traces the evolution of English society from the height of the British Empire to the dawn of the single European market. French historiography is used to penetrate the attitudes and behaviour of the British people.

In this, the second edition of A Social History of England, Francois Bédarida has added a new final chapter on the last fifteen years.

The book now traces the evolution of English society from the height of the British Empire to the dawn of the single European market. Making full use of the Annales school of French historiography, Bédarida takes his inquiry beyond conventional views to penetrate the attitudes, behaviour and psychology of the British people.
