Britons – Forging The Nation 1707-1837

How was Great Britain made? And what does it mean to be British? This brilliant and seminal book examines how a more cohesive British nation was invented after 1707 and how this new national identity was nurtured through war, religion, trade, and empire. Lavishly illustrated and powerful, “Britons” remains a major contribution to our understanding of Britain`s past, and continues to influence ongoing controversies about this polity`s survival and future. This edition contains an extensive new preface by the author.
