In this insightful work Wade Matthews considers the views of Britain's major New Left thinkers E.P. Thompson, Raymond Williams, Perry Anderson, Stuart Hall, and Tom Nairn on various 'national questions'. From decolonization to the nationalist implications of Thatcherism, this work charts the continuities and fissures between various New Left perspectives and what has been called 'the break-up of Britain.'
