An historical introduction to the varieties of citizenship in Britain, starting in the Middle Ages and bringing the story right up to the present day.

local and national strata

the issue of parliamentary suffrage

women excluded and included as citizens

the influence of classical ideas

nationhood and imperialism

the role of political and social theorists

interpretations by modern political parties

the role of education
