The Oxford Handbook of Modern British Political History, 1800-2000

The political history of modern Britain is widely taught, and the field contains an enormously rich and rapidly proliferating body of specialist scholarship, summary accounts, and collections of sources on which to proceed. There is, however, the clear absence of any volume which attempts either to survey the current state of the field, or even to map the contours of the field itself. The Oxford Handbook of Modern British Political History addresses this significant gap in the literature and will become a vital resource for teaching and research.
