Summary:

Democratising History interrogates the ways in which democracy has transformed modern Britain and how we teach its history. Nine research-led chapters offer new ways to think about the history of democracy in Britain since the early nineteenth century. These are complemented by six interludes that explore the democratising forces at work which are reshaping UK higher education and the professional field of modern British history itself.
