It is an extraordinarily well-organized account; cleverly written to engage students
at all levels. Wasson s felicity with recent scholarship makes this the best Modern
Britain text to appear in decades.
Ronald K. Huch, Eastern Kentucky University
Wasson presents a detailed, yet lively and engaging narrative history of Britain
from the accession of George I. The book covers the whole British Isles, integrating
themes and problems to highlight the balance of change with continuity. It offers
instructors a valuable resource for providing students the foundation that enables
rewarding classroom exchanges.
William Anthony Hay, Mississippi State University
Drawing on a vast range of recent scholarship in disparate fields, this carefully
crafted volume provides a remarkably accessible yet academically significant overview
of Britain s last
300
years. Attractively jargon free and peppered with well-chosen
anecdotes and biographical details, it is one of those rare books that will prove
invaluable to students and experts alike.
Phillip Salmon, The History of Parliament
A History of Modern Britain:
1714
to the Present presents
а
lively introduction to the history
of the modern British Isles from the Hanoverian succession to the present day. The
book conveys the broad sweep of the period s major events with particular emphasis
placed on observing Britain s past from a global context, including imperialism s
role in shaping social, economic, and political developments at home. Ellis Wasson
explores the relationships between Great Britain s three nations
-
Scotland, England,
and Wales -and Ireland, and the development of their unique national identities.
The story is punctuated throughout with description of fascinating personalities from
Britain s past, from celebrated statesmen to lesser known characters, including the
eighteenth-century shopkeeper Thomas Turner, the female adventurer Jane Digby,
the celebrity footballer George Best, and the writer Dorothy Sayers. The vignettes
complement the broader story and give the reader a sense of the rich variety of British
life during the modern era.

1688
