[edit] REPUBLIC OF BRITAIN, 1760-2000
Frank Prochaska takes a close look at the relationship between monarchy and its enemies since 1750. He considers the challenges that monarchy has faced and the reforms and reinventions they have forced on this apparently solid and timeless feature of the British constitution.
For 200 years, many Britons have called themselves republicans. The Republic of Britain surveys the extraordinary variety of British republicanism since the late 18th century, and explores its relationship with a monarchy active in its own defence. It draws on previously unused material from the royal archives and may be read as a history of the monarchy's reaction to what it has perceived to be republican menaces. Republicans, disillusioned with the democracy their forebears helped to create, now make the abolition of monarchy a priority. But has monarchy successfully adapted to democracy through their own brand of civic republicanism? Does it have a strategy to cope with its critics? Is Britain already a Republic in its essentials?
