From the dawn of civilization to the 20th century, A History Of Britain: The Complete Collection re-animates familiar tales and illuminates overlooked aspects of England's past. Written and hosted by historian Simon Schama (the bestselling author of Rembrandt's Eyes and The Embarrassment of Riches), this monumental BBC production has been hailed by critics for its colorful - and controversial - approach.

Discarding timelines and tiresome lineages, this acclaimed series provides a lively look at the personalities and cultures that infuse Britain's past and examines the impact of this extraordinary heritage on the modern nation. From India to Ireland, the Norman Invasion to the American Revolution, Schama spotlights the epic themes and towering figures that transformed an island "at the edge of the world" into the greatest empire on Earth.
