A vibrant history of the castle in Britain, from the early Middle
Ages to the present day The castle has long had a pivotal place in
British life, associated with lordship, landholding, and military
might, and today it remains a powerful symbol of history. But
castles have never been merely impressive fortresses-they were hubs
of life, activity, and imagination. John Goodall weaves together
the history of the British castle across the span of a millennium,
from the eleventh to the twenty-first century, through the voices
of those who witnessed it. Drawing on chronicles, poems, letters,
and novels, including the work of figures like Gawain Poet, Walter
Scott, Evelyn Waugh, and P. G. Wodehouse, Goodall explores the
importance of the castle in our culture and society. From the
medieval period to Civil War engagements, right up to modern
manifestations in Harry Potter, Goodall reveals that the castle has
always been put to different uses, and to this day continues to
serve as a source of inspiration.
