About the books

Volume 1 covers the British theater from its Roman colony origins to 1660, when Charles II was about to be restored to the throne.[1][2][4] Volume 2 covers a little over two centuries, beginning with Charles II's restoration in 1660, until the beginning of the twentieth century, approximately 1895.[5] Volume three covers the British theater from 1895.[6]
