Beschreibung

This revised introduction to the history of modern Britain accounts for the recent, remarkable changes to Britain since the 2008 financial crisis. Extending from the 18th century to the present, Vernon gives increased prominence to themes of environmental change, global pandemics, histories of minoritised people, and shifting ideas of democracy.
