In the 1990s, Davies published Europe: A History (1996) and The Isles: A History (1999), about Europe and the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, respectively. Interestingly, the chapters are arranged in reverse chronological order. In 1984, Davies published Heart of Europe, a briefer history of Poland. In 2000, Davies' Polish publishers Znak published a collection of his essays and articles under the title Smok wawelski nad Tamizą ("The Wawel Dragon on the Thames"). In Poland, the book was published officially only after the fall of communism. The work which established Davies' reputation in the English-speaking world was God's Playground (1981), a comprehensive overview of Polish history. Throughout his career, Davies has lectured in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, China, Poland, and in most of the rest of Europe as well. Currently, he is Supernumary Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford. From 1971, Davies taught Polish history at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) of the University of London, where he was professor from 1985 to 1996. In Polan Professor Ivor Norman Richard Davies FBA, FRHistS is a leading English historian of Welsh descent, noted for his publications on the history of Europe, Poland, and the United Kingdom.
