From the dawn of civilization to the 20th century A HISTORY OF BRITAIN re-animates familiar tales and illuminates overlooked aspects of England's past. Written and hosted by historian Simon Schama (the bestselling author of Rembrandt's Eyes and The Embarrassment of Riches) this monumental BBC production has been hailed by critics for its colorful--and controversial--approach which discards timelines and tiresome lineages for a lively look at the personalities and cultures that infuse British history.
From India to Ireland the Norman Invasion to the American Revolution Schama spotlights the epic themes and towering figures that transformed an island at the edge of the world into the greatest empire on earth examining the impact of this extraordinary heritage on the modern nation.
