In Cosmopolitan Islanders one of the world's leading historians
asks why it is that so many prominent and influential British
historians have devoted themselves to the study of the European
continent. Books on the history of France, Germany, Italy, Russia,
and many other European countries, and of Europe more generally,
have frequently reached the best-seller lists both in Britain and
(in translation) in those European countries themselves. Yet the
same is emphatically not true in reverse. Richard J. Evans traces
the evolution of British interest in the history of Continental
Europe from the Enlightenment to the twentieth century. He goes on
to discuss why British historians who work on aspects of European
history in the present day have chosen to do so and why this
distinguished tradition is now under threat. Cosmopolitan Islanders
ends with some reflections on what needs to be done to ensure its
continuation in the future.
