In this collection of engaging and readable essays, Stefan Collini
shows how much can be gained from bringing a rigorous historical
perspective to some of the most contentious issues in contemporary
culture. Whether he is asking what it means to inhabit and possess
a `national past', or reflecting on the role of the historian as
social critic, whether he is scrutinizing the claims of Cultural
Studies or challenging the assumptions about academic research
whether he is pondering the future of literary biography or
reassessing some of the leading minds in modern British culture,
Collini writes with a rare blend of sympathy, sharpness, and wit.
Explicitly addressed to the `non-specialist', these essays attempt
to make some of the fruits of detailed scholarly research in
various fields available to a wider audience. The book will
interest (and delight) readers interested in history, literature,
and contemporary cultural debate.
