Structures and Transformations in

Modern British History

This major collection of essays challenges many of our preconceptions

about British political and social history from the late eighteenth cen-

tury to the present. Inspired by the work of Gareth Stedman Jones,

twelve leading scholars explore both the long-term structures – social,

political and intellectual – of modern British history, and the forces that

have transformed those structures at key moments. The result is a series

of insightful, original essays presenting new research within a broad

historical context. Subjects covered include the consequences of rapid

demographic change in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the

forces shaping transnational networks, especially those between Britain

and its empire; and the recurrent problem of how we connect cultural

politics to social change. An introductory essay situates Stedman

Jones’s work within the broader historiographical trends of the past

thirty years, drawing important conclusions about new directions for

scholarship in the twenty-first century.
