Description
In this, the second part of his history of the Industrial Revolution, Richard Brown examines the political and religious developments which took place in Britain between the 1780s and 1840s in terms of the aristocratic elite and through the expression of alternative radical ideologies. Opening with a discussion of the nature of history, and of Britain in 1700, he goes on to consider the nature of foreign policy, the emergence of the modern state and the mid-century crisis of the 1840s. Unlike many previous works, "Church and State in Modern Britain" emphasizes British history rather than just English history. His emphasis on the diversity of experience and the focus on continuity as well as change, women as well as men, make this a distinctive text. Students should also find the theoretical foundations of historical narrative and analysis clearly explained. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of British history.

Opening with a discussion of the nature of history, and of Britain in 1700, it goes on to consider Britain's foreign policy, the emergence of the modern state and the mid-century 'crisis' of the 1840s. Unlike many previous works, it emphasises British not just English history. It is this diversity of experience and the focus on continuity as well as change, women as well as men, that makes this a distinctive text. Students will also find the theoretical foundations of historical narrative and analysis clearly explained.
