3.0 out of 5 stars Forging new ideas, 15 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Linda Colley in Britons offers a fresh and accessible approach to one of the key periods in British History: the eighteenth century. This oft overlooked period is excitedly examined, and the social and cultural history is fully explored. The high profile given by Colley to women in this book is important, as the Georgian era was a time of change for the position of women, which allowed the changes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to occur. Although the book is a little dated in places, because of the explosion of studies in this area which her book encouraged, it is still one of the most important text for those, academic and lay people, who wish to explore the history of the notion of Britian. A great read, and an excellent gift idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings alive a period often considered mightily dull, 13 Mar 2002
By A Customer
The biggest tribute one can pay to Linda Colley's book is that her enthusiasm for 18th-century Britain becomes genuinely infectious the more one reads. She was no doubt wise to draw heavily on Hogarth's work to illustrate her argument, because that makes the book more accessible. Her point about British identity being forged partly in opposition to French identity is surely absolutely spot on. A deservedly successful book.
