Imagining England's Past - Susan Owens
England has long built its sense of self on visions of the past. In this book Owens asks what dos it mean for medieval writers to summon King Arthur from the post-Roman fog or for William Morris to resurrect the skills of the medieval workshop and Julia Cameron to portray the Arthurian court with her Victorian camera?
By exploring the imaginations of successive generations the book reveals how diverse notions of the past have inspired literature, art, music, architecture and fashion. It shines a light on subjects from myths to mock-Tudor houses, Stonehenge to Steampunk and asks how, and why, the past continues to powefuly shape the present.
