This book comprises a collection of essays written in honour of John D. Marshall, one of the leading practitioners and advocates of regional history in Britain. At a time when regionalism is assuming new importance in both Britain and the rest of the European Union, this book brings together historians and geographers to offer a regional perspective on Britain that breaks away from the traditional parochialism of local history whilst maintaining a focus on those particular and contrasting experiences which contribute to the national picture. The majority of the chapters concentrate on aspects of regionalism in the UK, although there is a chapter which offers a historical contrast between the regionalism of the Basque Provinces of Spain and the North West of England. Themes of chapters include the environment and human society, industry and identity, regional financial networks, religious traditions, patterns of female employment and the relationship between the county and the region.
