　　The Discovery of Islands consists of a series of linked essays

in British history, written by one of the world's leading

historians of political thought and published over the past three

decades. Its purpose is to present British history as that of

several nations interacting with - and sometimes seceding from - an

imperial state. The commentary presents this history as that of an

archipelago, expanding across oceans to the Antipodes. Both New

Zealand history and the author's New Zealand heritage inform this

vision, presenting British history as oceanic and global,

complementing (and occasionally criticising) the presentation of

that history as European. Professor Pocock's interpretation of

British history has been hugely influential in recent years, making

The Discovery of Islands a resource of immense value for historians

of Britain and the world.
