Product Information
A New York Times 2016 Notable Book Robert Tombs's momentous The English and Their History is both a startlingly fresh and a uniquely inclusive account of the people who have a claim to be the oldest nation in the world. The English first came into existence as an idea, before they had a common ruler and before the country they lived in even had a name. They have lasted as a recognizable entity ever since, and their defining national institutions can be traced back to the earliest years of their history. The English have come a long way from those first precarious days of invasion and conquest, with many spectacular changes of fortune. Their political, economic and cultural contacts have left traces for good and ill across the world. This book describes their history and its meanings from their beginnings in the monasteries of Northumbria and the wetlands of Wessex to the cosmopolitan energy of today's England. Robert Tombs draws out important threads running through the story, including participatory government, language, law, religion, the land and the sea, and ever-changing relations with other peoples. Not the least of these connections are the ways the English have understood their own history, have argued about it, forgotten it and yet been shaped by it. These diverse and sometimes conflicting understandings are an inherent part of their identity. Rather to their surprise, as ties within the United Kingdom loosen, the English are suddenly embarking on a new chapter. The English and Their History, the first single-volume work on this scale for more than half a century, and which incorporates a wealth of recent scholarship, presents a challenging modern account of this immense and continuing story, bringing out the strength and resilience of English government, the deep patterns of division and also the persistent capacity to come together in the face of danger.

Reviews
Named a Book of the Year by the Daily Telegraph, Times Literary Supplement, The Times, Spectator, and The Economist "Robert Tombs''s The English and their History is history at its best. He gives a fluent, elegant and abundantly energetic narrative from the Bronze Age to the Scottish Referendum of 2014....The final section of the book, covering the last half-century, is a triumph of precision and candour: I have not read history that is so important and exciting for years." --Richard Davenport-Hines, Times Literary Supplement ( Books of the Year) "As ambitious as it is successful....Packed with telling detail and told with gentle, sardonic wit, this vast and delightful book is exactly the weapon to throw at those who apologise for the past, denigrate the present and fear the future." --Ben Macintyre, The Times (Books of the Year) "In his massive, engaging and persuasive new book, Robert Tombs speaks up for English history, and sometimes for England itself." --David Horspool, The Guardian " The English and Their History , by the Professor of French history at Cambridge, Robert Tombs, is a work of supreme intelligence. In this vigorous, subtle and penetrating book, Tombs defies the proprieties of our politically motivated national history curriculum to rethink and revise notions of national identity. Tombs has done nothing less than narrate with rare freshness and confidence 2,000 years of English history....Although he is a historian of the grand sweep, his book is full of arresting details, quirky sidelights, telling quotes and delightful laconic humour.... Robert Tombs''s book is a triumph. In a literal sense it is definitive, for there is never a flash of ambiguity in any sentence....No history published this year has been of such resounding important to contemporary debates. Tombs, who is both fearless and non-partisan, deserves to be rewarded with a life peerage for this book. There can be no steadier, calmer and more informed adviser during the constitutional crises looming in the next two or three years." --Richard Davenport-Hines, The Observer "Tombs has succeeded magnificently. Learned, pithy and punchy, with a laudable sense of narrative sweep and a bracing willingness to offer bold judgments, his survey is a tremendous achievement, and deserves to become the standard history for years to come....All in all, Tombs''s book is a superb feat of compression and analysis." --Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times "[A] compelling and intriguing analysis....vast in scope and full to the brim with scholarship that has been painstakingly absorbed only to be disgorged with an exhilarating mixture of conviction and lightness of touch." --Christopher Silvester, Financial Times "Fascinating....I found it especially strong on English-French relations, and early modern times....Definitely recommended, I quickly became addicted to this book." --Tyler Cowen, "Marginal Revolution" "Conducting a vast yet readable and sharply focused tour through the ages, and contrasting the English with their Celtic and continental neighbours, the thread is the evolution and paradoxical elusiveness of Englishness....jammed with succulent nuggets." --Sinclair McKay, Daily Telegraph (Books of the Year) "Robert Tombs''s timely and magisterial The English and their History ... [is] a great achievement: you''re in the hands of a learned and considerate guide whose judgments, whether you agree with them or not, you can be sure will be well-founded. A very good read and possibly the most important contribution to the subject since Trevelyan." --Alan Judd, Spectator (Books of the Year) "The perfect starting point for anyone who wants to grapple with the complexity of the English question....[Tombs] writes beautifully; there isn''t a lazy sentence in this text."-- The Economist
