Review

No one covers as much ground in such a thoroughly readable manner. --Lynn Schibeci, University of New Mexico

These three volumes constitute the best value in British history textbooks currently available. They are as up-to-date in their attention to the Celtic experience of British history as in that of the English. And the level of coverage they provide makes them equally serviceable as principal texts in introductory-level surveys or as supporting texts for upper-level courses. --Simon Devereaux, University of Queensland

Discription

In three concise volumes, The Peoples of the British Isles: A New History presents the history of all of the people of the British Isles England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales from prehistoric times to the present. Through the frameworks of cultural, intellectual, and social history, the authors examine the conflicts, contrasts, and commonalities among four different peoples and their cultures while recognizing that people of all social levels, women as well as men, deserve the attention of students of history.

Volume II deals with the British Isles during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Major themes addressed include:

Formation of the British nation-state

Spread of English cultural influence and political power and the consequent resistances and accommodations by the Celtic peoples

Industrialization and shift from a culture of custom to one based on contract

Development of class identities and a class society

Expansion of British power and influence

Emergence and maturation of Victorianism
