About this book

The Rise of English Nationalism is a tour de force reinterpretation of English history and culture in the era of King George III. Where historians have often seen England as having been bypassed by the phenomenom of nationalism, Newman, equally at home with history and literature, shows instead that England was probably the first modern country to experience it, and reveals its vibrations throughout English cultural, social, literary and political life. 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 .

Reviews

'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
