The Religion of Protestants The Church in English Society 1559-1625 (Ford Lectures, 1979)

This is a study of two conflicting trends in nineteenth-century Britain: the promotion of integration and unity, and the commitment to preserve regional diversity. It is a stimulating account of the making of the modern British nation, in which the relationship between region and state still lies at the heart of concerns with local government, the North/South divide, and Europe.
