It recognises the separate histories of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and explores the extent to which they share a common, ‘British’ history. They are entwined, with the points at which they interweave and detach dependent upon the nature of our inquiry, where we locate our ‘core’ and our ‘periphery’, and the ‘cause’ and ‘effect’ of our subject. 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.Great Britain—HistoryImperialismCivilization—HistoryHistory, ModernWorld politicsHistory of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000Cultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000Modern Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080Great BritainHistoryEnglandCivilizationScotlandHistoryIrelandHistoryWalesHistoryEnglandfastGreat BritainfastIrelandfastScotlandfastWalesfastHistory.fastGreat Britain—History.Imperialism.Civilization—History.History, Modern.World politics.History of Britain and Ireland.Imperialism and Colonialism.Cultural History.Modern History.Political History.941Lloyd-Jones Naomiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtScull Margaretedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910299789303321Four Nations Approaches to Modern 'British' History2496471UNINA
