HISTORY 176 - Modern British History:1789-2003

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Building on an understanding of the nation-state as largely a 19th-century invention, this course explores the efforts of Britons to create a stable definition of their nation and themselves in response to such fundamental changes in their society as industrialization, an expanded middle class, constitutionalmonarchy, and the establishment of the largest empire that the world has ever known. The course also charts developments in the post-World War II era, when Britain slowly lost its position as the industrial, cultural, and colonial power of the world.
