Book Description
Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life.’ Cecil Rhodes’s characteristically nineteenth-century confidence rings rather hollow as England enters the twenty-first century in somewhat reduced circumstances. Jeremy Black steers his way through the labyrinthine complexities of historical narrative with elegance and clarity, providing a lively analysis of major events and personalities and important underlying themes. He deals with the highly topical issue of England’s position and relationship with Europe. A New History of England will prove a fascinating and informative guide for anyone interested in history and heritage.
