Englishness: Politics and Culture 1880-1920 de Robert Colls

Englishness: Politics and Culture 1880-1920

Editat de Robert Colls, Philip Dodd
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 aug 2014
'Englishness' is by no means the unchanging quality of those living in the territory that has come to be England, but a concept that has been made and remade throughout history, expressing itself through existing symbols and ideas. Since its first publication in 1987 this collection has been regarded as a major work on English national identity as it evolved during the period 1880-1920 and has had a significant impact on writing and research. It is a classic text for students of modern British history and courses in politics, sociology and literature.This updated edition of Englishness contains a new introduction by Robert Colls and Philip Dodd, which sets the work in the context of research done since its original publication, and an afterword by Will Self which relates it to current debates on Britain as a multinational state.This important collection contains ideas that are still pertinent today, making it essential reading for students and scholars alike.

Recenzii

A fascinating exploration of the myths of a nation.
...thoughtful yet serious, scholarly yet speculative .and warmly welcomed, this book is of political as well as intellectual importance.
Indispensable
...proves conclusively the existence of a major discursive shift occurring at the end of the last century . amounting to a Risorgimento. finely intelligent. wide ranging. thoughtful, provocative and contentious. imaginative, impressive and good to read
Englishness can be analyzed and quantified and it is a disturbing experience when done rigorously
...few who teach in English Literature, politics, history and allied subjects will not learn much from this very good book
...interesting. convincing. fine. fascinating. valuable
So welcome. properly and intelligently interdisciplinary
The case is closely argued. the detailed nature of the various essays is a real strength
...new and valuable
...remarkably coherent and important
...valuable at the sophomore level in college and beyond... this book is an informative survey of imperial Englishness.
The richness of writing in recent years on all matters English exist largely outside the comfort zone of the Left. One of the best is the book . . . Englishness, Politics and Culture.
