Ideas about what it is to be British have recently become subject
to change and discussion. The end of Empire, the loss of world
power status, the collapse of old industrial communities, the
dedine of Protestantism, and the rise of nationalism in Wales and
Scotland, have all served to change the perception of what it is to
be British. This book offers a range of original perspectives on
how Britishness might be constructed at the turn of the millennium,
and where it might be going. It pulls together the disciplines of
history, art history, cultural studies, film and television
studies, sociology and politics. Looking at Britishness from a
variety of geographical perspectives, from the English regions to
the United Kingdom as a whole, the contributors incorporate ideas
from sport to sculpture, from Belfast to Blackpool, and from James
Bond to Barbara Taylor Bradford. The book offers a distinctive and
indispensable set of perspectives for the understanding of
Britishness and how it is expressed in recent British culture.
