Description: "Sir Arthur Bryant and National History in Twentieth-Century Britain is a significant new study of the work of popular historian and journalist Sir Arthur Bryant (1899-1985). Julia Stapleton shows us that Bryant prefigured and sustained a form of romantic nationalism that remained nascent within the British population (although not always its elites) deep into the twentieth century."--Jacket.
