The Victoria History of the Counties of England

All available backlist volumes in this series, renowned for its reputation as a work of reference for English local history, are now being distributed by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. Begun in 1899, the publication of about 3 new volumes each year is gradually creating an encyclopaedic history of the counties. For each county, there is, or is planned, a set of volumes, containing general chapters on subjects such as prehistory and ecclesiastical and economic history, and topographical chapters giving a comprehensive, fully referenced account of each city, town, and village in the county. 14 county sets have been completed; work is in progress on a further 13.

The backlist volumes on Kent (1-3, ISBN: 0712906061/07X/088) are £35, as are all the other available counties volumes. From the beginning of this month, volumes currently distributed by Oxford University Press will be available. A complete list, including the transferred volumes and forthcoming new titles, is available from:
