E-text prepared by Chris Curnow, Anna Whitehead, Christian Boissonnas, "A History of England" by Charles Oman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work chronicles the history of England from early Celtic and Roman times through the Anglo-Saxon period and beyond, aiming to present an accessible narrative that encompasses significant events and transformations in the nation's past. The book seeks to serve both educational purposes and the wider public interested in understanding the formation and evolution of English society and governance. The opening of the work introduces the early history of Britain, depicting the island as a landscape of woods and marshes, inhabited by primitive tribes. It describes the arrival of Celtic peoples who conquered the original inhabitants, detailing their societal structures, customs, and interactions with Roman forces led by Julius Caesar. This section sets the stage for understanding the complexities of Britain's early population, the influences of Roman civilization, and the gradual transition toward the emerging characteristics of what would become England. The narrative highlights the dynamic between various groups, the impact of invasions, and the gradual cultural developments that followed, all of which are pivotal in shaping England's identity.
