Four Nations Approaches to Modern 'British' History
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-1-137-60141-4 (ISBN)
The collection demonstrates that four nations frameworks are relevant to a variety of topics and tests the limits of the methodology. The chapters illuminate the changing shape of modern British history writing, and provide fresh perspectives on subjects ranging from state governance, nationalism and Unionism, economics, cultural identities and social networking.
Naomi Lloyd-Jones researches responses to Irish Home Rule in Britain. Margaret M. Scull writes on the Catholic Church during the Northern Irish Troubles. They are both based at King's College London, UK, and are co-founders of the Four Nations History Network.
