Description
Imagining England's Past explores how the country's invented histories have shaped its sense of self. From medieval writers summoning King Arthur to modern-day visualizations of Victorian dandies, this book reveals how diverse notions of the past have inspired literature, art, music, architecture and fashion.
By examining the imaginations of successive generations, Susan Owens sheds light on subjects from myths to mock-Tudor houses, Stonehenge to steampunk. This lively and erudite account offers a unique perspective on how the past continues to shape the present.
Packed with insights into the making and manipulation of England's past, this book is a fascinating exploration of how our understanding of history has evolved over time.
