CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2017 A History of the British
Isles is a balanced and integrated political, social, cultural and
religious history of the British Isles in all its complexity,
exploring the constantly evolving dialogue and relationship between
the past and the present. A wide range of topics and questions are
addressed for each period and territory discussed, including
England's Wars of the Roses of the 15th century and their influence
on court politics during the 16th century; Ireland's Rebellion of
1798, the Potato Famine of the 1840s and the Easter Rising of 1916;
the two World Wars and the Great Depression; British cultural and
social change during the 1960s; and the history and future of the
British Isles in the present day. Kenneth Campbell integrates the
histories of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales by exploring
common themes and drawing on comparative examples, while also
demonstrating how those histories are different, making this a
genuinely integrated text. Campbell's approach allows readers to
appreciate the history of the British Isles not just for its own
sake, but for the purposes of understanding our current political
divisions, our world and ourselves.
