This lavishly produced book brings together an impressive amount of
new historical research which seeks to answer this question,
providing fresh interpretations of Leicester's history since 1800.
The chapters analyse the events, changes and characteristics that
have shaped the city and given it its distinctive identity. The
sights, sounds and smells of the city in the twenty-first century
are products of cumulative layers of history, layers which are
peeled back by a specially assembled team of historians, all of
whom have lived and worked in Leicester for many years. The result
is an important book which helps us to understand the city's past,
so that we may better understand the present and know how to
approach the future. Above all, this fascinating volume
demonstrates that Leicester is a quietly confident city built on
firm historical foundations of which Leicester citizens of today
can feel very proud.
