This collection brings together leading and emerging scholars to
evaluate the viability of four nations approaches to the history of
the United Kingdom from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. It
recognises the separate histories of England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales and explores the extent to which they share a common,
'British' history. They are entwined, with the points at which they
interweave and detach dependent upon the nature of our inquiry,
where we locate our 'core' and our 'periphery', and the 'cause' and
'effect' of our subject. The collection demonstrates that four
nations frameworks are relevant to a variety of topics and tests
the limits of the methodology. The chapters illuminate the changing
shape of modern British history writing, and provide fresh
perspectives on subjects ranging from state governance, nationalism
and Unionism, economics, cultural identities and social networking.
