In Linda Colley’s book Britons, she takes a shot at combining numerous components of Britain in the eighteenth century to form an understanding of what exactly made up the British identity. Colley’s book is organized well and her arguments are always thoroughly backed up with evidence. Colley makes it very clear that she believes Dominance and Majesty are two elements that encompassed the British identity in the eighteenth century. The overwhelming evidence and support that Colley provides…

society within other societies (9). They sought to use hierarchy to create a sense of belonging and importance within those they took over.

Yes it may be true that Britain started to act very overprotective over their colonies, limiting the control and freedom that can be exercised throughout the region, but they were mostly looking out for the colonists best interest at heart. The problem was that they were so invested into the colonists lives which they…

he is and I will be the first in the land to bend my knee to him.”(pg 336) This is a sign of honesty because even though Gawen pulled out the sword with butter, Arthur stays true to saying who ever pulls out the sword shall be the King of all of Britain.
