Billie Melman, "The Culture of History: English Uses of the Past 1800-1953"
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | 2006 | ISBN 019929688X | PDF | 384 pages | 11.5 MB
Billie Melman takes us on a panoramic voyage of the 'culture of history' which developed in England after the French Revolution. She vividly recovers unexplored aspects of popular history, and unpicks notions of the uncosy past, a place of pleasurable horror and sensationalism, which survived into the 1950s.
