The British Isles（ISBN=9780521608503） snb txt 网盘 pdf kindle 2025 lit 下载

　　This is a new edition of Hugh Kearney's classic account of the

British Isles from pre-Roman times to the present. When this book

was first published it was acclaimed as a unique account of British

history, distinguished by its treatment of English history as part

of a wider 'history of four nations'. Acknowledging the

significance of England, it attempts to deal with the histories of

Wales, Ireland and Scotland in their own terms, while recognising

that they too have political, religious and cultural divides. In

this new edition the author takes into account the recent

historiographical renaissances in Wales, Ireland and Scotland and

examines the rise of a new multi-ethnic Britain and its

implications for 'four-nations' history. This book offers a

valuable case-study of the complexities which lie behind nationhood

in Europe and will be essential reading for all students of British

and Irish history.
