Reseñas

Historia social de Inglaterra por Asa Briggs

Clásico de la historiografía inglesa, que ofrece una visión accesible, actualizada y global de la historia social de Inglaterra. El adjetivo social hace referencia a la voluntad del autor de abarcar diversos fenómenos ( desde las clases sociales hasta la sanidad, pasando por las relaciones entre géneros, la economía, la cultura o la propia política) mediante el hilo conductor del cambio social, en lugar de ajustarse a los acontecimientos políticos o a las fases de crecimiento económico.
