    The past 30 years have seen a general revival in scholarly activity relating to ‘all aspects of 18th-century British history'.

  • The Evolution of the British Electoral System 1832-1987

  • English Puritanism

      Classic Pamphlet
    When the modern world was christened Puritanism appeared as a bad fairy and bestowed upon it certain dubious gifts: capitalism, democracy, America. This is a fairy story, but like all fairy stories it contains a small grain of truth. But what was Puritanism? Already in the seventeenth century a critic...

    Over the past two decades the historiography of the Great War has witnessed something of a revolution.

  • Polychronicon 148: The Wars of the Roses

      Teaching History feature
    There are few periods in our history from which we turn with such weariness and disgust as from the Wars of the Roses. Their savage battles, their ruthless executions, their shameless treasons seem all the more terrible from the pure selfishness of the ends for which men fought, the utter...

  • What Have Historians Been Arguing About... the British Empire and the age of revolutions in the global South

      Teaching History feature
    The historiography of the British Empire has taken a long course since the era of decolonisation. Political histories of the late twentieth century considered the mechanisms connecting crises at the ‘periphery’ with metropolitan decision-making. One rather overused stereotype was the so-called ‘man on the spot’ pushing empire forward, be they...
