Dr Paul Stock's new book, , explores what literate British people understood by the word 'Europe' in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Was Europe unified by shared religious heritage? Where were the edges of Europe? Was Europe primarily a commercial network or were there common political practices too? Was Britain itself a European country? The book provides a thorough and much-needed historical analysis of Britain's enduringly complex intellectual relationship with Europe.
