Riassunto

In Uniting the Kingdom? a group of the most distinguished historians from Britain and Ireland assemble to consider the question of British identity spanning the period from the Middle Ages to the present.
Traditional chronological and regional frontiers are broken down as medievalists, early modernists and modernists debate the key issues of the British state: the conflicting historiographies, the nature of political tensions and the themes of expansion and contraction.
This outstanding collection of essays forms an illuminating introduction to the most up-to-date thinking about the problems of British histories and identities.

Product Description:

How was the United Kingdom formed? How - and to what extent - were Scotland, Ireland and Wales incorporated into a unified British polity? These were the themes of the highly successful 63rd Anglo-American Conference of Historians, 1994, on The Formation of the United Kingdom . This book now presents a collection of studies based on that conference, in which a team drawn from the most distinguished historians of Britain and Ireland explores the whole span of British/United Kingdom history. Traditional chronological frontiers are broken down as medievalists, early modernists and modernists all address such key issues as expansion and contraction, political tensions and conflicting historiographies. This highly illuminating collection of original essays forms an ideal introduction to the most up-to-date thinking about the problems of British history and identities.
