Opis

History, like the present, is always changing. Scholarship on the history of the British Isles is currently experiencing a golden age. The breakdown of modernism and the eclipse of both the Marxist tradition and the 'Whig interpretation' that sees all history as progress, combined with the trajectories of nationalism in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, have generated unprecedented intellectual activity. In this volume, John Gillingham discusses conquests, catastrophe, and recovery in the period 1066-c.1485.
