具體描述

The English stand now in need of a new sense of home and belonging - a reassessment of who they are. This is a history of who they were, written from the perspective of the twenty-first century. It begins by considering how the English state identified an English nation which, from very early days, seems to have seen itself as not simply the creature of state or king. It considers also how in modern times the English nation survived shattering revolutions in technology, urban living, and global conflict, while at the same time retaining a softer, more human vision of themselves as a people in touch with their nature and their land. They claimed that there was more to living in England than work and wages, there was more to running a vast empire than just exploiting it. For all its faults and inequalities, they identified with their state. For all their shortcomings they were confident of their place in history. As little as forty years ago, these ideas were not much in doubt. Though vague and often contradictory, they held together as the English people held together -as a whole. Indeed, 'Englishness' was hardly recognized as a subject for analysis, except perhaps in a rather ironic and self-mocking vein. But now 'the national question' is back and history is at the top of the agenda. From a rich store of historical memory and possibility, Robert Colls connects the identity of England in the past with the changing and uncertain identity of England today.

《英格蘭的身份》本書深入探討瞭構成英格蘭民族認同的復雜織錦，超越瞭地理疆域和政治邊界，追溯其深遠的曆史根源和多層文化影響。作者以敏銳的洞察力，剖析瞭塑造英格蘭獨特身份的諸多關鍵要素，從古老的凱爾特遺跡、盎格魯-撒剋遜的定居，到諾曼徵服帶來的深遠變革，再到大英帝國崛起時期的輝煌與挑戰，無不細緻入微。全書圍繞著“身份”這一核心概念展開，層層遞進。在曆史敘事之外，作者著重於文化符號的解讀。例如，英格蘭的文學傳統，從喬叟的《坎特伯雷故事集》到莎士比亞的戲劇，再到狄更斯的小說，它們如何描繪和重塑瞭英格蘭人的形象？英格蘭的語言，其演變過程以及其中蘊含的社會和曆史信息。藝術和建築，從宏偉的哥特式教堂到維多利亞時代的工業景觀，又如何反映瞭英格蘭的價值觀和審美取嚮？本書的另一重要維度在於對社會結構和集體意識的探討。作者考察瞭英格蘭的社會階層、地域差異，以及這些因素如何相互作用，共同塑造瞭地方性和全國性的身份認同。諸如工業革命、兩次世界大戰、殖民曆史的遺産以及近代的移民潮等重大社會變遷，對英格蘭身份的衝擊和重塑，也得到瞭深刻的分析。它並非一成不變，而是一個動態發展、不斷協商和重新定義的進程。此外，本書也關注英格蘭在全球舞颱上的位置及其自我認知。在經曆瞭帝國輝煌之後，以及麵對歐洲一體化和全球化浪潮，英格蘭如何在現代世界中尋找和定義自身？它與聯閤王國內其他部分的復雜關係，以及在文化和政治上的獨特性，也貫穿於全書的論述之中。《英格蘭的身份》並非一本簡單的曆史羅列，而是一次對英格蘭精神內核的深入挖掘。它試圖迴答“究竟是什麼讓一個英格蘭人成為英格蘭人？”這樣一個看似簡單卻極為復雜的問題。作者通過對曆史事件、文化錶徵、社會實踐以及個體經驗的細緻考察，為讀者提供瞭一個全麵而深刻的視角，去理解這個古老而富有活力的民族國傢，其身份是如何在漫長的歲月裏鍛造而成，又將如何繼續演變。這本書適閤所有對英格蘭曆史、文化和社會有濃厚興趣的讀者，它將引領你踏上一段充滿發現和啓發的旅程。
