Roman Britain was created not by impersonal historical forces, but by men & women, each driven by ambition, aspiration & passion. The Romans Who Shaped Britain explores the narrative of Britannia through the lives of its emperors, commanders, governors, officials & rebels. This rich cast of characters

Includes::
some, such as Caesar, Agricola & Boudica, who may be familiar; & others, such as Carausius, Magnentius or Valentinus, who deserve to be more so. Their lives & actions are set against the backdrop of an evolving landscape, in which Iron Age shrines were being replaced by marble temples, industrial-scale factories & granaries were springing up across the countryside & a triumphal arch towered into the Kent sky to mark Rome`s domination. Fast-moving, vivid & compelling, The Romans Who Shaped Britain, by setting out the story as a single narrative, above all reminds us of the truly epic nature of the history of Britannia.

While the battles for modern art & society were being fought in France & Spain, it has seemed a betrayal that John Betjeman & John Piper were in love with a provincial world of old churches & tea-shops. In this multi-awardwinning book now available in paperback Alexandra Harris tells a different story. In the 1930s & 1940s, artists & writers explored what it meant to be alive in Engl&. Eclectically, passionately, wittily, they showed that the modern need not be at war with the past. Constructivists & conservatives could work together, & even the Bauhaus emigre, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, was beguiled into taking photographs for Betjemans nostalgic Oxford University Chest. This modern English renaissance was shared by writers, painters, gardeners, architects, critics, tourists & composers. John Piper, Virginia Woolf, Florence White, Christopher Tunnard, Evelyn Waugh, E. M. Forster & the Sitwells are part of the story, along with Bill Brandt, Graham Sutherl&, Eric Ravilious & Cecil Beaton. ...
