Krátky popis
From the Wolfson Prize-winning author of God's Architect: Pugin and
the Building of Romantic BritainBetween the fall of the Bastille in
1789 and the opening of the Great Exhibition in 1851, history
changed. The grand narratives of the Enlightenment, concerned with
kings and statesmen, gave way to a new interest in the lives of
ordinary people. Oral history, costume history, the history of food
and furniture, of Gothic architecture, theatre and much else were
explored as never before.Antiquarianism, the study of the material
remains of the past, was not new, but now hundreds of men - and
some women - became antiquaries and set about rediscovering their
national history, in Britain, France and Germany. The Romantic age
valued facts, but it also valued imagination and it brought both to
the study of history. Among its achievements were the preservation
of the Bayeux Tapestry, the analysis and dating of Gothic
architecture, and the first publication of Beowulf.It dispelled old
myths, and gave us new ones: Shakespeare's birthplace, clan tartans
and the arrow in Harold's eye are among their legacies. From
scholars to imposters the dozen or so antiquaries at the heart of
this book show us history in the making.
