Description

The British Isles: A History of Four Nations This comprehensive history of the British Isles explores the complex relationships between England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, from pre-Roman times to the present day. Hugh Kearney's approach sets England apart from the histories of its Celtic neighbours, yet also acknowledges the shared political, religious, and cultural divides that have shaped the region. The second edition of this influential work has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent social, political, and cultural changes within Britain, including the rise of a multi-ethnic society. The book features a new set of illustrations, including 16 maps, to help illustrate the complex history of the region. A valuable resource for understanding European nationhood and its evolution over time, this book is an essential study for anyone interested in the history of the British Isles.
