The British Problem c.1534-1707 by Brendan Bradshaw

This pioneering book seeks to transcend the limitations of separate English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh histories by taking the archipelago made up of the islands of Britain and Ireland as a single unit of study.
'..the essays in this volume...open up and develop their topics in stimulating and often original ways. They are held together by an impressive introduction from John Morrill, who provides a narrative framework to the whole.' - Henry Williams, Welsh History Review 'Much that is stimulatingly contentious but all is excellent. This work not merely reinterprets British history in terms of the past interactions between four nations, but could have a real impact on how we think of the present crises of British identity, Britain and Europe and relations between England, Ireland and Scotland.' - Professor Bernard Crick

BRENDAN BRADSHAW, a University Lecturer in History and a Fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge, has published extensively on Irish history and on British and European continental history, mainly of the sixteenth century.

JOHN MORRILL, Reader in Early Modern History and Fellow and Vice Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge, has published widely on British and Irish history, mainly of the seventeenth century. He and Breandan Bradshaw have taught a final-year course called 'The British Problem, 1534-1707' in Cambridge since 1988.
