Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A triumph' INDEPENDENT 'A thought-provoking and indispensable book' DAILY MAIL 'An instant classic ... I have been reading it with unalloyed admiration and delight' EVENING STANDARD Roy Strong has written an exemplary introduction to the history of Britain, as first designated by the Romans. It is a brilliant and balanced account of successive ages bound together by a compelling narrative which answers the questions: 'Where do we come from?' and 'Where are we going?' Beginning with the earliest recorded Celtic times, and ending with the present day of Brexit Britain, it is a remarkable achievement. With his passion, enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge, he is the ideal narrator. His book should be read by anyone, anywhere, who cares about Britain's national past, national identity and national prospects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of the History of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 2: An Historical View of the Manners and Customs, Dresses, Literature, Arts, Commerce, and Government of Great Britain; From the Time of the Saxons, Down to the Eighteenth Century Within the space of 150 years, they had become possessed of about one half of the southern divi sion of Britain; whilst the natives had gradually retreated before them, and with all the property they could preserve, sought an asylum in the hills and forests, and especially in the mountains, co yering the Western parts of this Island. It is sup posed that the Saxons called this district Gwalles, considering the Britons as Gauls; their language being named Gwallish, whence are said to have been derived the modern words Wales and Welsh. The Britons themselves, however, are asserted to have called their country Cambria, to commemo rate their own ancient name of Cymry, which the Welsh still retain. But beside these domestic co lonists, others of the persecuted Britons entirely abandoned their native country; and, under the conduct of their Chiefs and Prelates, crossed the sea, and took possession of the desolate lands on the western coast of Armorica; and having sub dued the neighbouring settlements, they called the district Bretagne, or Brittany, in memory of that country whence they had departed.
