Various Parties Converging on the Sea
A pink and blue June morning found me at Bradgate looking from the Griffin Hotel over a smooth sea to the lightship on the Cock sands which seemed the size of a bell-buoy. A couple of miles farther south and much nearer the...
A Floating Commonwealth: Politics, Culture, and Technology on Britain’s Atlantic Coast, 1860– 1930
Christopher Harvie offers a new portrait of society and identity in high industrial Britain by focusing on the sea as connector, not barrier. Atlantic and ‘inland sea’ together, Harvie argues, created a ‘floating commonwealth’ of port cities and their hinterlands whose interaction, both with one another and with nationalist and imperial politics, created an intense political and cultural synergy. At a technical level, this produced the freight st…

Finlay, Modern Scotland, 1914–2000
Bad History
If history is a sort of radar for the ship of state, then the machine has broken down, just at the point where Gordon Brown, trained as a historian, takes over control. Caught up in the best‐seller business, popularised on TV, it has come to reflect metropolitan commercial drives, the obsessions of The Hitler Channel or the ‘publish or be damned’ ethos of the Research Assessment Exercise. Fashionable discourses about identity and postmodern consu…
Incorporation
‘Incorporation’ deals with the recognition by the law of previously subversive ideas and movements, as well as the discontent of those outside the law. In 1850, trade unions were ‘incorporated’, allowing them to defend the respectability of the leading members of the working class. Classical economics and utilitarianism were also reconciled with gradual reform and met with a greater degree of sympathy. Women and the native Irish were still not re…
Nineteenth-Century Britain: A Very Short Introduction
Nineteenth-Century Britain: A Very Short Introduction is an account of remarkable economic and social change and an even more remarkable political stability. Britain in 1789 was overwhelmingly rural, agrarian, multilingual, and almost half Celtic. By 1914, when it faced its greatest test since the defeat of Napoleon, it was largely urban and English. This VSI shows the forces behind Britain's rise to its imperial zenith, and the continuing tensio…

Scottish or British
The environment of history‐writing has always been governed by the school and university curricula, research, hopes of a general readership, and the requirements of politics. These have been framed by the English language community, the publishing industry and, more recently, the media market. To this Scotland added, after about 1960, an unprecedentedly active politics, culminating with the grant in 1999 of broad powers of self‐government. In thi…

In late 2000 it looked as if it would consolidate its control of Scottish politics at the forthcoming Westminster elections, yet its reversal of fortune at the Falkirk by-election on 21 December makes their long-term implications for Scotland more difficult to call.

Nairn, After Britain: New Britain and the Return of Scotland
Industry, Identity and Chaos
I want to start by going back over thirty years, to when the Scottish Arts Council ran a gallery in Shandwick Place. An exhibition was on of William MacTaggart's great seascapes, and before one of them was a little knot of people in their seventies. 'Yes', one of them said 'He used to paint there, by the rocks, and I think that's me.' Then I realised that these were the children who scrambled on the rocks or paddled in the surf on the edge of the…

Labour in Scotland during the Second World War
The 1930s, a decade Labour in Scotland could have done without, ended appropriately. On Sunday, 3 September 1939, hours before war was declared, police closed down a Labour party meeting on Glasgow Green. The Glasgow left-wing weekly Forward , reporting this, concluded gloomily: ‘It is doubtful whether any other meeting will be allowed during the war period.’ Labour’s fortunes in 1939 were mixed, and it did not regard the imminent prospect of an …

A miniature of Durer's Germany, Bluffs of dark pinewood, litde halftimbered garden houses on the slopesbelow them, and the Ammertal sweeping towards a bluey-grey horizon which is the Black Forest. To the south, the Wurmlinger Kapelle on its hill, as in Ludwig Uhland's poem, as familiar to Germans as Hardy's 'In ume of the Breaking of Nations' is to us: the shepherd in the valley whisdes and thinks about his girl, but sooner or later he too will l…
