About This Item
Oxford University Press, 2008. Reprint. Hardcover. Like New. Publisher's original laminated hardback with illustration to upper cover. In nearly new condition: firm and square, strong joints, sharp corners. Contents crisp, fresh and tight. Not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Pages: pp. xii, 319. Illustrated and fully indexed. Offers a new portrait of society and identity in industrial Britain by focusing on the sea as connector, not barrier. Atlantic and 'inland sea' together, the author 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.
