 This is a timely exploration of national identity in Great Britain over nine hundred years of history. In his vigorous new survey, Professor Robbins provides the background to the changing attitudes to the nation state. He considers the development as well as the possible disintegration of the sense of 'Britishness' among the inhabitants of Britain and investigates how - and why - they have preserved their own national and regional identities across several centuries of co-existence.
