Over the past decade, historians, journals, conferences, and even job advertisements have devoted attention to a new field of inquiry, “Britain and the world.” This emergent category is far from coherent but, despite a variety of approaches, shares a common assumption that Britain's interactions with the world beyond its shores enable us to better understand the histories of both Britain and the globe. Writing the history of Britain from a comparative, imperial, or transnational perspective is not wholly new. British historians have long worked comparatively in a predominantly European frame, while historians of empire and internationalism have also highlighted the importance of transnational and global frameworks. What, then, is signified by the articulation of “Britain and the world” as a new field? What do historians of Britain, and indeed historians of its empire and the world, stand to gain or lose from the promotion of Britain and the world as a field? What new skills, methodologies, and archives are required to become a historian of Britain and the world? We invited historians from different generations and national academies as well as with different ways of approaching the history of Britain in an extranational frame. Our hope is that these essays will open up debate and stimulate broader discussions about the changing nature of the field and our work as historians of Britain.

英国与世界:一个新领域?

在过去的十年里,历史学家、期刊、会议,甚至招聘广告都将注意力集中在一个新的研究领域,“英国和世界”。这一新兴类别远非连贯一致,但尽管有多种方法,但都有一个共同假设,即英国与海外世界的互动使我们能够更好地了解英国和全球的历史。从比较的、帝国的或跨国的角度来书写英国的历史并不是全新的。英国历史学家长期以来一直在以欧洲为主的框架下工作,而帝国和国际主义的历史学家也强调了跨国和全球框架的重要性。那么,将“英国与世界”表述为一个新领域意味着什么?英国历史学家是怎么做的,事实上,其帝国和世界的历史学家,是否会因将英国和世界作为一个领域的提升而得失呢?成为英国和世界的历史学家需要哪些新技能、方法和档案?我们邀请了来自不同世代和国家学院的历史学家,以及以不同的方式在国际框架下研究英国历史。我们希望这些文章将开启辩论并激发关于该领域不断变化的性质以及我们作为英国历史学家的工作的更广泛讨论。档案需要成为英国和世界的历史学家吗?我们邀请了来自不同世代和国家学院的历史学家,以及以不同的方式在国际框架下研究英国历史。我们希望这些文章将开启辩论并激发关于该领域不断变化的性质以及我们作为英国历史学家的工作的更广泛讨论。档案需要成为英国和世界的历史学家吗?我们邀请了来自不同世代和国家学院的历史学家,以及以不同的方式在国际框架下研究英国历史。我们希望这些文章将开启辩论并激发关于该领域不断变化的性质以及我们作为英国历史学家的工作的更广泛讨论。
