Ben Wellings argues instead that Brexit was and is an elite project, firmly situated within the tradition of an expansive English nationalism. Far from being parochial 'Little Englanders', elite Brexiteers sought to replace the European Union with trade and security alliances between 'true friends' and 'traditional allies' in the Anglosphere. Brexit was thus reassuringly presented as a giant leap into the known. As the UK's future relationship with the rest of the world is negotiated, the need to understand this 'English moment' has never been more pressing.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46457504235671,"sku":"9781526117724","price":9461.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781526117724.webp?v=1769181979","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/english-nationalism-brexit-and-the-anglosphere-wider-still-and-wider-9781526117724","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
