The Peoples of the British Isles: From 1870 to the Present
- Used Book in Good Condition
In three concise volumes, The Peoples of the British Isles: A Brief History presents the history of the people of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales from prehistoric times to the present. Through the frameworks of cultural, intellectual, and social history, the authors examine the conflicts, contrasts, and commonalities among four different peoples and their cultures while recognizing that people of all social levels, women as well as men, deserve the attention of students of history.

Volume III traces the erosion of Victorianism and the subsequent rise of modernism. Updated to include the whole period from 1870 to 2007, the final chapter now covers the premiership of Tony Blair. Other important topics, such as the issues of class in the 1920s and 1960s, the effects of both world wars on British life, and the independence of the Irish Republic and continued conflict in Northern Ireland are covered in the same detail that made earlier editions a favorite of students and professors alike.
