Description

The North East of England is a region with a distinct character and strong sense of its past. This book explores the history of Northumbria, from its ancient kingdom to the present day, and how the idea of being a Northumbrian has evolved over time. The book examines the physical origins of Northumbria, as well as its cultural identity, including art, music, mythology, dialect, and more. It also considers how the region was shaped by its location on the border with Scotland and the influence of surrounding states. The result is a rich and detailed account of the North East's past, which will help inform its future. Through a series of sections, the book brings together leading historians to explore the complex threads that have influenced regional identity in the North East.
