| Summary: |
Hugh Kearney's classic account of the history of the British Isles from pre-Roman times to the present is distinguished by its treatment of English history as part of a wider 'history of four nations'. Not only focusing on England, it attempts to deal with the histories of Wales, Ireland and Scotland in their own terms, whilst recognising that they too have political, religious and cultural divides. This new edition endeavours to recognise and examine contemporary multi-ethnic Britain and its implications for 'four-nations' history, making it an invaluable case study for European nationhood of the past and present. Thoroughly updated throughout to take into account recent social, political and cultural changes within Britain and examine the rise of multi-ethnic Britain, this revised edition also contains a completely new set of illustrations, including sixteen maps. 1. The Celtic societies of the British Isles -- 2. The impact of Rome on the British Isles -- 3. The post-Roman centuries -- 4. The Vikings and the fall of the Old Order -- 5. The Norman and post-Norman ascendancy -- 6. The decline of the post-Norman empire -- 7. The making of an English empire -- 8. The remaking of an empire -- 9. The Britannic melting pot -- 10. The rise of ethnic politics -- 11. Between the wars -- 12. Withdrawal from empire -- 13. Post-imperial Britain: post-nationalist Ireland |
