'Through the appropriately "modern" concepts of survey, site and identity, Gilbert, Matless and Short offer us an enticing set of precise vignettes, framing a geographical interpretation of British modernity. This book sketches an agenda for what will be an enduring preoccupation among historical geographers in "millennial" Britain.' Denis Cosgrove, University of California, Los Angeles
"This landmark volume stands as the first work of historical geography to cover the whole span of the twentieth century. Through the analysis of broad patterns of change and the close scrutiny of particular spaces the contributors draw out the contours of British modernity since 1900 and demonstrate the vitality of contemporary historical geography." Miles Ogborn, Queen Mary College, University of London
