The Discovery of Islands consists of a series of linked essays in British history, written by one of the world's leading historians of political thought and published over the past three decades. Its purpose is to present British history as that of several nations interacting with - and sometimes seceding from - an imperial state. The commentary presents this history as that of an archipelago, expanding across oceans to the Antipodes. Both New Zealand history and the author's New Zealand heritage inform this vision, presenting British history as oceanic and global, complementing (and occasionally criticising) the presentation of that history as European. Professor Pocock's interpretation of British history has been hugely influential in recent years, making The Discovery of Islands a resource of immense value for historians of Britain and the world.

What was life really like in England in the later Middle Ages? This comprehensive introduction explores the full breadth of English life and society in the period 1200-1500. Opening with a survey of historiographical and demographic debates, the book then explores the central themes of later medieval society, including the social hierarchy, life in towns and the countryside, religious belief, and forms of individual and collective identity. Clustered around these themes a series of authoritative essays develop our understanding of other important social and cultural features of the period, including the experience of war, work, law and order, youth and old age, ritual, travel and transport, and the development of writing and reading. Written in an accessible and engaging manner by an international team of leading scholars, this book is indispensable both as an introduction for students and as a resource for specialists.

Rivalités et conflits ont laissé une empreinte profonde sur l’histoire des relations entre la France et les îles Britanniques et occupent encore une place considérable dans l’historiographie. L’étude des liens personnels, des réseaux et des solidarités, dans un contexte marqué par l’influence des sciences sociales, permet peut-être d’ouvrir l’horizon sur d’autres perspectives, et de reconstituer, entre ces deux espaces, des échanges que la documentation ne laisse pas toujours directement appréhender. Grâce aux travaux comparatistes, elle petit aussi contribuer à renouveler la compréhension de phénomènes longtemps perçus de manière isolée par les écoles historiques française et britannique. La table ronde organisée par le Groupe de recherche 2136 du CNRS « France-îles Britanniques » en mai 2002 à l’université de Glasgow, s’est précisément donné ce thème de réflexion pour objet : les seize communications d’historiens français et britanniques réunies dans ce volume abordent des notions qui vont de l’individu à la parenté en passant par l’amitié, le voisinage, la cour, l’entourage noble, 1’« affinité », la clientèle, le cercle littéraire, et cela à partir de sources d’une extrême diversité - actes de la pratique, correspondance, héraldique, images, récits, journaux intimes. Le choix délibéré d’un temps long, du Moyen Âge au XXe siècle, permet aussi de confronter les évolutions sociales comme des méthodes historiographiques souvent très différentes. Les recours à des grilles de lecture variées, qu’il s’agisse de la méthode de la network analysis ou de la prosopographie, fait surgir des liens souvent discrets, ou bien activés dans des circonstances très spécifiques, comme la succession, et permet de mieux cerner le contexte de développements connus par ailleurs, comme l’invention scientifique ou la circulation des idées politiques. Ln dernier ressort, c’est peut-être au cœur d’un faisceau d’approches et d’expériences diverses que la notion de réseau peut se révéler la…

Human beings have developed a superabundance of ways of communicating with each other. Some, such as writing, are several millennia old. This book focuses on the relationship between speech and writing both within a single language, Welsh, and between two languages, Welsh and English. It demonstrates that the eighteenth-century Scottish clergy used the popular medium of Gaelic in oral and written form to advance the Gospel. The experience of literacy in early modern Wales was often an expression of legal and religious authority reinforced by the spoken word. This included the hearing of proclamations and other black-letter texts publicly read. Literate Protestant clergymen governed and shaped the Gaelic culture by acting as the bridge-builders between oral and literary traditions, and as arbiters of literary taste and the providers of reading material for newly literate people.
