The Republic of Britain by F K Prochaska
The British monarchy is one of the most durable institutions in the world. For almost a thousand years (with only one brief interlude) it has served as the formal head of the British state apparatus and has occupied its subjects' imaginations to a profound extent. Frank Prochaska takes a close look at the relationship between monarchy and its enemies since 1750. He considers the challenges that monarchy has faced and the reforms and reinventions they have forced on this apparently solid and timeless feature of the British constitution.
Frank Prochaska is a distinguished historian of modern Britain, who has written extensively on the monarchy. His previous books include Women and Philanthropy in Nineteenth Century England (1980), The Voluntary Impulse (1988), and Royal Bounty: The Making of A Welfare Monarchy (1995). He has taught at universities in Britain and America and has been a Visiting Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford.
