In this collection of essays on nineteenth and twentieth century Britain, the pre-eminent historian David Cannadine explores subjects as varied as suicide and divorce, patriotism and empire, class and privacy - the ways in which contemporary eventshave helped to shape and change our perspectives on the past and the dialogue between the past and the present.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
