Summary:	The twentieth century has not been kind to Britain. The great empire of the Victorian Age now seems a distant echo. The transformation in status and power has inevitably been accompanied by a pervasive questioning about the very nature of 'British' history. How are its characteristics determined? The essays, written over the past twenty-five years, in History, Religion and Identity in Modern Britain can all be said, in one way or another, to be concerned with the 'Identity of Britain' in the modern period They complement and elaborate themes developed in Keith Robbins' books In the first group, as a former editor of History and President of the Historical Association, the author considers how British historians have themselves reflected and shaped the national understanding of the British past. He discusses the implications of such debates for the present. Have we reached the end of British history in the age of European integration
