Britishness since 1870

What does it mean to be British? It is now recognized that being British is not innate, static or permanent, but that national identities within Britain are constantly constructed and reconstructed. Britishness since 1870 examines this definition and redefinition of the British national identity since the 1870s.  Paul Ward argues that British national identity is a resilient force, and looks at how Britishness has adapted to changing circumstances. Taking a thematic approach, Britishness since 1870 examines the forces that have contributed to a sense of Britishness, and considers how Britishness has been mediated by other identities such as class, gender, region, ethnicity and the sense of belonging to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

This book portrays bears and the panda as more than just an interesting group of animals. Although they are fascinating in many respects of their biology, they are also symbolic of the natural world, both in their own right and in the way that we humans treat them. The authors present a picture which encompasses science, natural history and another deeper - almost spiritual - aspect of bears. What emerges is an engrossing story of their lives and deaths. The book starts by explaining how and why bears have meant so much from early in our evolutionary history, how they have bridged the gap between the natural and spiritual worlds; and how, even today, they hold a special place in our society. It then describes the bears' position and uniqueness among carnivores, introduces the living species, charts their evolutionary history, tells how they live, what they eat, how they cope with their habitats, and looks at their behavior. It concludes with a re-examination of the interrelationship they have with us; how they suffer by our hand and how attempts are being made to reverse the damage we have done.

It is generally assumed that the language of patriotism and national identity belongs to the political right, but the emergence of socialism in the 1880s shows clearly that the left also drew on such ideas in its formative years to legitimate a particular form of socialism, one presented as a restoration of an English past lost to industrial capitalism. The First World War dealt a severe blow to this radical patriotism: though the anti-war left continued to use radical patriotic language in the early years, the war degraded patriotism generally, while the Russian Revolution gave internationalism a new focus, and also threatened the dominant concept of British socialism. Moderate Labour sought to prove their fitness to govern, and concentrated on the `national interest' rather than oppositional Englishness, while the left of the movement looked to Soviet Russia rather than the English past for models for a future socialist society. Paul Ward teaches at the School of Music, Humanities and Media, University of Huddersfield.
