Infos

Originally published in 1983 by Weidenfeld and Nicholson this is the third revised edition of this exploration of English society, brought up to the present day. Briggs's approach to history is to emphasize human experience rather than concepts, switching from kitchen to drawing room or garden, from field to factory.

---

Ranging widely over time and place, Asa Briggs highlights continuities and changes in society in England from prehistory to the present day. Literature, art and politics are investigated as aspects and gauges of human experience; research in related disciplines is discussed and changes in historical interpretations explained. The author also offers his own, personal, view of social history.
