Other Yale Biographies and History Books

While the purpose of this website is to examine the English Monarchs series, many other British history books of similar tone have been published by Yale which could be said to be complementary to books in the English Monarchs series and which in some way intersect with the series. These titles are one step away from those being regarded here as 'Companion' titles but are significant studies in British history.

Most of the titles below are recognisably biographical, but a few general historical studies have been added. As noted on the Publishers page on this website, Methuen lost the plot with history titles and issued few of any note other than in the series.

The selection of books not already mentioned in this website has been limited to to the end of the Georgian period, matching the extent of the series itself, and the last twenty-odd years for which Yale University Press has had custodianship of the series.

The book titles have links to the page at Yale University Press.
