Download or read book Britain since 1688 written by Stephanie Barczewski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored by a team of North American university professors who specialize in the subject, Britain since 1688: A Nation in the World has been specifically written for students in the United States, or from other countries where pre-existing knowledge of the history of Britain cannot be taken for granted. Beginning with the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the book progresses through the major events of the next three-and-a-half centuries, up to the coalition government of the present day. It uses a traditional chronological structure and provides a strong backbone of political history, but incorporates contemporary thematic concerns and the most recent scholarship throughout. The authors provide coverage of all parts of the British Isles individually as well as treating them as an integrated whole, and key aspects of British society are examined, including class, race, religion and gender – a focus that allows the complexities of British national identity and the historical unity and disunity of the British Isles to be assessed. Britain’s interaction with the world features prominently, including extensive coverage of the British Empire, both as a political, military and geographic entity and as a force of cultural influence on the British metropolis. The complexities of Britain’s relationship with the United States are explored in detail, ranging from the American Revolution in the eighteenth century to the "special relationship" established by the twentieth. Featuring textboxes containing illustrative examples that support the main text, images intended to inspire discussion, and a comprehensive companion website with an interactive timeline that includes links to primary documents, images and video, this book provides everything needed to give students a comprehensive grounding in the rich tapestry of events, characters, and themes that encompass the history of Britain since 1688.

Download or read book Modern Britain 1750 to the Present written by James Vernon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 1068 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging introduction to the history of modern Britain extends from the eighteenth century to the present day. James Vernon's distinctive history is weaved around an account of the rise, fall and reinvention of liberal ideas of how markets, governments and empires should work. The history takes seriously the different experiences within the British Isles and the British Empire, and offers a global history of Britain. Instead of tracing how Britons made the modern world, Vernon shows how the world shaped the course of Britain's modern history. Richly illustrated with figures and maps, the book features textboxes (on particular people, places and sources), further reading guides, highlighted key terms and a glossary. A supplementary online package includes additional primary sources, discussion questions, and further reading suggestions, including useful links. This textbook is an essential resource for introductory courses on the history of modern Britain.

Download or read book The History of England Vol 1 Of 10 written by John Lingard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 1 of 10: From the First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of William and Mary in 1688 Since the year 1819, in which the first portion of this work was sent to the press, many new sources of information have been opened to the writer of English history. From time to time ancient documents of high interest and indisputable authority have been rescued from oblivion by searches made under the auspices of the Record Commission, or through the zeal and enterprise of literary societies, and of private individuals. It has been my endeavour to embody the substance of all such discoveries in this present library edition, not indeed by the introduction of notes or dissertations at corresponding epochs, but by inter weaving the new matter with the old in one conti nuons narrative throughout the work. At the same time I have availed myself of the opportunity to fix the dates of events with greater precision, to correct former errors of the pen and of the press, and to alter certain paragraphs, occasionally whole chapters, of the last edition, by recasting or expanding them in con formity with the improvements which I wished to introduce.
