Description
Exploring the interplay between enterprise and heritage in British social and cultural life, this book examines how these two concepts are deeply intertwined. The growth of the heritage industry can be seen as a manifestation of the entrepreneurial spirit, with examples drawn from various fields such as film, literature, urban planning, and tourism.
The contributors to this volume discuss the importance of enterprise and heritage in British society through case studies, commentary, and critique. From marketing the past to its accessibility for the general public, the book provides a nuanced understanding of how these concepts shape our cultural landscape.
