About this product
Product Information
Change - sometimes gentle and subtle sometimes shocking and violent - is the dynamic of Schama's unapologetically personal, grippingly written history, especially the changes that wash over custom and habit, transforming our loyalties. At the heart of his history lies a question of compelling importance for our future as well as our past: what makes or breaks a nation: to whom we give our allegiance and why ? And where do the boundaries of our community lie - in our hearth and home, our village oor city, tribe or faith ? What is Britain, one country or many, one culture or several ? has British history unfolded at the edge of the world or right at the heart of it ? All these themes are delivered to the reader in the stories which Schama loves to tell, and in a form that is at once traditional and excitingly fresh. The great and wicked are all here - Becket and Thomas Cromwell, Robert the Bruce and Ann Boleyn, but so are countless more ordinary lives - an Irish monk waiting for the plague to kill him in his cell at Kilkenny; a small boy running throgh the streets of Londonn to catch a glimpse of Elizabeth I. They are all caught on the rich and teeming canvas onwhich Schama paints his brilliant portrait of the life of our people for in the end, history, especially British history with its sucession of thrilling illuminations, should be , as all her most accomplished narrators have promised, not just instruction but pleasure
