RULE NOSTALGIA - HANNAH ROSE WOODS KARTONIERT (TB)

** A FINANCIAL TIMES  NEW STATESMAN AND GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR ** 'A must read' - Janina
Ramirez  bestselling author of Femina 'An eye-opening history of Britain's enduring fixation
with its own past' - Jeremy Paxman 'Rule  Nostalgia announces Woods as one of the most
interesting new historians of her generation' - Dan Snow Longing to go back to the 'good old
days' is nothing new. For hundreds of years  the British have mourned the loss of tradition and
called for a revival of 'simpler'  'better' ways of life  from modern politicians indulging in
fantasies of an imperial past  to Victorian artists yearning to retreat into a medieval dream
of Merry England. But were the 'good old days' ever quite how we remember them? Rule  Nostalgia
is a surprising  timely new history of Britain that separates the history from the fantasy and
traces back to its origins the powerful influence that nostalgia's perpetual backwards glance
has had on British history  politics and society.
