An Agenda for Regional History

The emergence of the 'Europe of regions' and challenges to national history has been pivotal in inspiring new research by leading European historians in recent years. Questions of boundaries, identities, cultural landscapes and economic regions are addressed in these nineteen essays aimed at academics and students interested in Regional History.The recent flourish in Regional History bears striking parallels with the emergence of Urban History in the 1960s. Seeking conceptual clarity this volume showcases the latest research in the field. The growing interest in regions is reflected in the range of disciplinary perspectives deployed in this collection with contributions from geographers and political scientists as well as historians.This volume, with its lively mixture of case studies and conceptual exploration, promises to become the standard work in this growing and exciting area of scholarship.

"This is a fascinating volume on regional history with many insights into English regional history in particular. Whilst it may not have set a single agenda for regional history, it certainly furnishes material for future agendas which, one hopes, will be as much interdisciplinary as historical."
