Reviews
"In this ambitious and highly readable narrative, Susan Kingsley Kent enlivens four centuries of British life and times. Whether they are university students, scholars in the field, or aficionados of Britain's storied past, readers will be captivated by the combination of high politics and everyday experience, land and labor, nation and empire, and gender and social crisis she evokes. Equally impressive is Kent's erudition: worn lightly, but a powerful undercurrent in this engrossing account. British studies has been waiting for years for such an accessible--and teachable--history text."--Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois "Kent's A New History of Britain since 1688 is a breath of fresh air, not only for its success in integrating Irish, Scottish, and Welsh perspectives into the traditional, Anglocentric story of Great Britain, but even more so for balancing imperial and domestic concerns and political and cultural history, and for giving gender and race their proper place. The result is a fast-moving yet substantive narrative which will help readers better understand that there is more to Britain than London and Westminster."--Patrick McDevitt, University at Buffalo "Susan Kent's book is a stunning accomplishment. This beautifully written survey provides the most richly integrated history of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland available. It will be the standard text on modern Britain and its empire for years to come. Kent expertly covers new questions related to environmental change along with now more familiar topics on gender, race, and class, brilliantly demonstrating how these subjects can be powerful methodological tools of analysis. Crafted with clarity and dramatic flair, A New History of Britain is a book that students and general readers will want to read."--Lydia Murdoch, Vassar College

Synopsis
For decades, scholars have been urging a "four nations" approach to British history. Susan Kingsley Kent's ambitious and timely A New History of Britain since 1688: Four Nations and an Empire finally delivers on that promise. Ranging from 1688 to the present, the book covers developments in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, along with the British empire, providing a lively and often gripping account of the ever-changing conflicts that have characterized British history. In prose that is accessible and engaging, Kent not only includes the histories of the four "nations" of the British Isles and the vast overseas empire within a single frame, she also seamlessly interweaves the thematic concerns of her previous scholarship--gender history, environmental history, and imperial and colonial history--into the history of British politics, society, and imperial culture. The result is a brilliant synthesis.
