Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Use dmy dates British studies is the academic study of Britain — its culture, geography and history.
Britain is significant as a topic because it was the location of the industrial revolution; the British Empire was large and influential in world history; and English is now a major international language. The topic is especially studied in the USA as students there often have a heritage of British ancestry which encourages Anglophilia while the shared language of English makes British culture readily accessible.[1]
In Germany, the topic is a specialism of Kulturkunde and Landeskunde and there is a Journal for the Study of British Cultures.[2]
A course was started at the University of Texas in 1975 and, more recently, courses have started at other universities such as Columbia, Yale[1] and the Faculty of World Studies at University of Tehran.[3]
