The Discovery of Islands Book

The Discovery of Islands presents a linked sequence of seminal essays by one of the leading historians of political thought in the world. Its purpose is to present British history as the history of several nations interacting with an imperial state. Ways of seeing history formed in New Zealand enter into the overall vision, and the aim is to present British history as oceanic and global, complementing (and occasionally criticising) the presentation of that history as European. Professor Pocock's agenda has been hugely influential in the recent study of British history.Read More

  • Product Description

    Written by one of the world's leading historians of political thought and published over the past three decades, the purpose of these essays is to present British history as the history of several nations interacting with--and sometimes seceding from--association with an imperial state. The commentary presents this history as that of an archipelago, situated in oceans and expanding across them to the Antipodes. Both New Zealand history and ways of seeing history formed in New Zealand enter into the vision.
