Review title: History of England/Britain?
Product review: Schama's lapses into the demotic are quite irritating because it forces him to over stress a point for the sake of writing brilliance. He has incorrect facts on many pages, which again is another irritating aspect of Schama but he does remind us that history is in the eye of the author. His emphases, asides and elicited facts show his background and own history and allows the reader to compile his own history. This is most certainly NOT a definitive history of Britain but a contribution to it. It may make, hopefully, others read fuller and more magisterial versions.
