Abstract
"In the wake of the American and French Revolutions, new style written
constitutions came progressively to be viewed as essential components and
symbols of a modern state and nation. Britain, however, both fought against
these Revolutions, and has notoriously retained its un-codified constitution
throughout. Yet, despite this, Britain's impact on the writing of
constitutions in other countries
- both within and outside its onetime empire - has been more extensive and more
diverse than that of any other power. In this lecture, Linda Colley explores
this apparent paradox and what it reveals about British, imperial and global
history, and about the meanings of constitutions as political and cultural
texts"
