Yale English Monarchs Series of History Books

A survey of the publishing history

of the Methuen and Yale history books

This site is optimised for computers and, at a pinch, tablets (pun intended). It is unapologetically not configured for phones and other mobile devices. The assumption is that English Monarchs series readers are familiar with the old random access paper information storage units and have found the time to investigate this website and the information it contains on the books in the series, little of which can be achieved on a phone. Thanks are due to Logowik for the free 60 Years logo.

This website has no connection to Yale University Press or Methuen Publishing Ltd. and is intended for the purposes of research, study, comment and critique of the publications associated with the English Monarchs series of history books.
