Your best source here, as far as I know, is going to be Susann Palmer's book, if you can find a copy. She broke down the history of the HG century by century, and (being English) had a more Anglo-centric view on the history, so there should be something there that you can use. Just be prepared to take what she says with a grain of salt (if you have that expression). Some of her research was quite good, and some was wildly inaccurate.
