Sir Roy Strong Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Roy Strong is een Engelse kunsthistoricus en schrijver wiens werk ingaat op de visuele cultuur en de weerspiegeling daarvan in kunst en maatschappij. Zijn essays en analyses dringen diep door in historische perspectieven en bieden een boeiend beeld van de evolutie van artistieke stijlen en maatschappelijke trends. Strong onderzoekt vaak hoe visuele uitingen de waarden en overtuigingen van hun tijd vormden en weerspiegelden. Zijn literaire bijdrage ligt in het verbinden van historische eruditie met boeiend vertellen.
The Story of Britain
A History of the Great Ages, From the Romans to the Present
Every student of English history will enjoy this story, which is delightfully easy to read and remarkable for its insights into the deepest consequences of individual actions. The Story of Britain is an accessible one-volume history that clearly depict Britain's origins—and explain how the past shaped the nation's current identity. He begins the story of Britain from the very earliest recorded Celtic times, and with this new edition has now brought it up to date via the Blair years and into the present day of Brexit Britain. A magnificently eloquent volume, the narrative chronicles two thousand years of Britain's history, the triumph of its people, the glory of its culture, and its dramatic influence on other nations of the world, especially the United States. It is a remarkable achievement and, with his passion, enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge, Strong is the ideal narrator. The book is ideally suited for everyone who cares about Britain's past.
