Construção do Estado e identidade nacional na Grã-Bretanha

Abstract

I analyze how historians “changed“ the history and English identity in Britain, despite the history of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The supremacy of English can be explained by the emergence of administrative structures during the Middle Ages. The study establishes further links between the issues of religious identity and the rise of English/British nationalism. Finally, it points out that some relevant theoretical questions about that nationalism should be further explored.
