| Summary | This course aims to heighten student awareness of some of the main debates and issues within modern British and Irish historiography. The course draws upon a range of expertise within the School, including British, Irish and Scots historians, and spans from the seventeenth century through to the twentieth. The course is also thematically diverse, focusing upon social and economic no less than political historiographical material. Inevitably, given the breadth of the subject, only an introduction and a series of case-studies can be provided. But it is expected that students will graduate from the course with an enhanced appreciation of the shape of modern British and Irish historiography. This, in turn, will help students to choose and advance any research topics with greater clarity and accuracy. |
