Many of the traditions which we think of as very ancient in their
origins were not in fact sanctioned by long usage over the
centuries, but were invented comparatively recently. This book
explores examples of this process of invention - the creation of
Welsh and Scottish 'national culture'; the elaboration of British
royal rituals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the
origins of imperial rituals in British India and Africa; and the
attempts by radical movements to develop counter-traditions of
their own. It addresses the complex interaction of past and
present, bringing together historians and anthropologists in a
fascinating study of ritual and symbolism which poses new questions
for the understanding of our history.
