具体描述

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.

《英格兰的身份》本书深入探讨了构成英格兰民族认同的复杂织锦，超越了地理疆域和政治边界，追溯其深远的历史根源和多层文化影响。作者以敏锐的洞察力，剖析了塑造英格兰独特身份的诸多关键要素，从古老的凯尔特遗迹、盎格鲁-撒克逊的定居，到诺曼征服带来的深远变革，再到大英帝国崛起时期的辉煌与挑战，无不细致入微。全书围绕着“身份”这一核心概念展开，层层递进。在历史叙事之外，作者着重于文化符号的解读。例如，英格兰的文学传统，从乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事集》到莎士比亚的戏剧，再到狄更斯的小说，它们如何描绘和重塑了英格兰人的形象？英格兰的语言，其演变过程以及其中蕴含的社会和历史信息。艺术和建筑，从宏伟的哥特式教堂到维多利亚时代的工业景观，又如何反映了英格兰的价值观和审美取向？本书的另一重要维度在于对社会结构和集体意识的探讨。作者考察了英格兰的社会阶层、地域差异，以及这些因素如何相互作用，共同塑造了地方性和全国性的身份认同。诸如工业革命、两次世界大战、殖民历史的遗产以及近代的移民潮等重大社会变迁，对英格兰身份的冲击和重塑，也得到了深刻的分析。它并非一成不变，而是一个动态发展、不断协商和重新定义的进程。此外，本书也关注英格兰在全球舞台上的位置及其自我认知。在经历了帝国辉煌之后，以及面对欧洲一体化和全球化浪潮，英格兰如何在现代世界中寻找和定义自身？它与联合王国内其他部分的复杂关系，以及在文化和政治上的独特性，也贯穿于全书的论述之中。《英格兰的身份》并非一本简单的历史罗列，而是一次对英格兰精神内核的深入挖掘。它试图回答“究竟是什么让一个英格兰人成为英格兰人？”这样一个看似简单却极为复杂的问题。作者通过对历史事件、文化表征、社会实践以及个体经验的细致考察，为读者提供了一个全面而深刻的视角，去理解这个古老而富有活力的民族国家，其身份是如何在漫长的岁月里锻造而成，又将如何继续演变。这本书适合所有对英格兰历史、文化和社会有浓厚兴趣的读者，它将引领你踏上一段充满发现和启发的旅程。
