第一个工业化民族的民族主义

The nationalism of the first industrial nation

英国民族主义经由诺曼入侵后的孕育时期、清教运动的发展时期和帝国扩张的成型时期等三个阶段的发展,最终形成了第一个工业化民族的民族主义。在这一漫长的历史过程中,盎格鲁—撒克逊的部族传统与诺曼入侵者的较量,近代以来英国社会经济力量的变化,新兴阶级争取自身权益的努力,以及对外扩张获取经济利益的冲动,都对英国民族主义的形成产生了巨大的影响。

The rise of English nationalism experienced three stages:the Norman invasion stimulated the emotion of English national consciousness,Bloody Mary's anti-protestant policy contributed to its development,and finally,the civil war and British Empire age forged the first industrial nation.In more than eight hundred years,the conflicts between Anglo-Saxon tradition and Norman invaders,the social change in the modern time of England,the struggle of the business class for their interests,the expand of British empire,all played very important role in shaping English nationalism.The phenomenon that most English people were willing to invest their state as a limited company to pursue their interests is also very unique in early modern times.
