Description
The Northumbrians: North-East England and Its People - A New History Dan Jackson explores the deep roots of Northumbrian culture in this new history of the people of North East England. He delves into centuries of border warfare, industry, at sea and underground work, and explains how the landscape and architecture of the region have shaped its inhabitants. From the Venerable Bede to modern-day Geordie Shore, Jackson's journey reveals a 'Northumbrian Enlightenment' that led to significant inventions, including the locomotive and lightbulb. This vital new history makes sense of a part of England facing an uncertain future, while uncovering the distinctive characteristics of its people. Covering everything from sociability and sentimentality to militarism and masculinity, Jackson's book offers a fresh perspective on North East England and its place in the world today.
