Britain 1851–1918 is a comprehensive core text from the Schools History Project covering the history of Britain from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of the First World War. It is ideal for students studying nineteenth-century British history for A level or equivalent, for any examination board.

It provides a clear and penetrating narrative which gives students a deep insight into how people and governments responded to the twin challenges of political and economic change at home, and of Britain's evolving role as a world power.

It also provides thorough exam preparation through carefully designed tasks that bridge the gap between GCSE and A level, and addresses the distinctive requirements of AS and A2 examinations through a wide range of revision strategies, including structured content summaries.
