History on British television explores the production and
consumption of factual history programming on British television.
The chronological development of Western historiography is compared
to phases of British television history production, highlighting
how progressive developments in social and cultural trends have
shaped what we make of the past and what the past makes of us.
Charting the rise and dominance of television history as a popular
cultural form, the book examines how the past has become a model
for citizenship, prioritising certain groups and classes,
marginalising others. Clearly defined chapters deal with the battle
between the BBC and its commercial rivals to become the 'voice of
the nation'. Engaging, informed and easy to read, the book is
intended for researchers, teachers and students interested in
television and historical studies, as well as readers keen to
understand how collective memory, television and history have
become a potent propaganda mixture of stylised myths reinforcing
nationality, identity and citizenship. -- .
