Ian Mortimer, author of the bestselling Time’s Travellers Guides, presents an A-Z of English history – ranging from architecture and the class system to the importance of speed and ideas of ‘progress’, from the benefits of literacy to the virtues of the English. In so doing he shines a light into fascinating and meaningful corners of history, some of which sad and others surprisingly funny.
