Description
This Sceptred Isle explores what makes Britishness so enduring and influential. Over 2000 years, the creation of British institutions has shaped the country's identity and its place in the world.
The author examines how these institutions have evolved, connecting with changing industrial and social characteristics to reveal that Britishness is not exclusive to Britain alone.
At a time when some Britons are questioning their sense of self, this book offers a thought-provoking perspective on what it means to be British.
