Description

This paper was part of the Anglo-American Conference of historians 2009, on the theme 'cities'.

Conference description by the organisers :

The conference will deal with cities throughout the world, with papers examining the networks of cities and their role in cultural formation, the relations between cities, territories and larger political units, the ideologies and cosmologies of the city and what distinguishes the city or town from other forms of settlement or ways of life.
 
Paper abstract from the organisers :
 
This paper will present an overview, concluding that England has two leagues of cities: a largely medieval league of what are now small cathedral towns; and a post-Victorian league which now includes more or less all the great ‘towns’. The paper explains how this came about, and asks what it means for our understanding of the English city.
 
John Beckett is Professor of English Regional History at The University of Nottingham.
