The result is a remarkable synthesis from a comprehensive new angle of vision, lucidly and often wittily written. Both armchair historian and serious scholar will enjoy "The Rise of English Nationalism."

Rezensionen
'A brilliant piece of work in more ways than one. It proposes a quite new revision of English (indeed Anglo-Saxon) history in the Eighteenth century and there can be no doubt that this is a highly illuminating way to do it.' - Kenneth Minogue, Professor of Political Science, The London School of Economics and Political Science

'One of the best works of historical synthesis I have read in many a year...This is probably the highest form of scholarship attainable.' - Leon Guilhamet, Professor of English Literature, City College of New York
