The domestic and colonial history of Britain in the period between the Hanoverian succession and the early nineteenth century is the subject of the new essays collected in this volume. Beginning with two historiographical surveys, the contributions go on to illuminate many of the issues which are at the forefront of historical research and controversy: the aristocracy; the British problem; the political role of women; British identity; and the problems of empire in both India and America.
