“From Exception to Norm? Britain in Comparative Perspective, 1900-1950”
Tuesday, November 3, 2015
at 12 :30 p.m. (catered lunch at 12 noon)
in Harris Hall 108
Focusing on international relations, armed services and the very distinctive histories of Britain in relation to the world's energy and food supplies, Edgerton is going to be arguing that Britain was much more exceptional around 1900 and much less so by 1950.
