This book brings together David Cannadine's most important
reflections on how history has been written and made in Britain in
the twentieth century. Empire, monarchy, parliament, the economy,
culture, heritage and tradition: Cannadine casts his eye over some
of the central topics of our age and their treatment by historians
down the years, delivering rich insights into the nature and
profession of history itself. Most of the essays included here were
produced during his decade-long association with the Institute of
Historical Research in London and they are framed by his inaugural
and valedictory lectures there. The result is a remarkably coherent
collection, which demonstrates yet again why Cannadine is one of
the most thoughtful, original, incisive and readable historians of
our time.
