"Colley's argument is that oour concepts of Britishness were forged in the 130 years after the Act of Union with Scotland and Victoria coming to the throne. The bedrock of British identity was Protestantism and commerce, the latter precipitating the series of wars which established Britain's ascendency over the French and its glibal empires. She sees the book as a counter-weight to the stress British historians, under the infuence of Marxism,place on analysing and celebrating opposition currents, the support sof the French Revolution. Solid history, and plenty of fascinating nuggets. The strength of anti-Catholicism right up to the Catholic Emanicipation Act in 1827 (?) and anti-Scottish feeling as personified by John Wilkes, suggests the extent to which democratic feeling required a negative image to define itself against."
