What is the state? The State of Freedom offers an important new
take on this classic question by exploring what exactly the state
did and how it worked. Patrick Joyce asks us to re-examine the
ordinary things of the British state from dusty government files
and post offices to well-thumbed primers in ancient Greek and Latin
and the classrooms and dormitories of public schools and Oxbridge
colleges. This is also a history of the 'who' and the 'where' of
the state, of the people who ran the state, the government offices
they sat in and the college halls they dined in. Patrick Joyce
argues that only by considering these things, people and places can
we really understand the nature of the modern state. This is both a
pioneering new approach to political history in which social and
material factors are centre stage, and a highly original history of
modern Britain.
