Description: |
At a time when history is once again being spoken of as 'the new rock 'n' roll', this book takes a longer-term view of the question, why do people care about history? |
Synopsis: |
It is still too casually assumed that the 'point' of history is to tell us 'who we are' and 'where we come from'. History and National Life, by a historian whose last book The Fall and Rise of the Stately Home was hailed both by historians and general reveiwersas 'superb', 'wonderful', splendid', 'fascinating' and 'enthralling', argues that history is less directly 'useful', but also richer than that. This brilliant study concludes with some reflections on current debates about English and British identity, on how much (or how little) history can help us resolve them, and on what deeper purposes history might serve instead. |
