Professor Alvin Jackson - 'United Kingdoms: Multinational Union States in Europe and Beyond, 1800-1925'

'United Kingdoms' takes readers across the social hierarchy which sustained the union state: from the powerful elites of monarchy and aristocracy, and the upper ecclesiastical echelons, to the classes below, which exercised their own agency in class conflict and violent revolutions. This richly researched analysis, in Jackson’s distinctively engaging style, offers fresh insights to the nature of union states, their survival, and their collapse - all timely reflections in the political context of today.

To understand more about the united kingdom generally, and this United Kingdom specifically, join us for what is sure to be a fascinating discussion at the bookshop, with the inimitable Professor Alvin Jackson, Sir Richard Lodge Professor of History at the University of Edinburgh.

The event will be held at Topping & Company Booksellers. Please purchase tickets at the link. Professor Jackson will also be appearing at Topping & Company St Andrews.
