Rezension zu „ON LIVING IN AN OLD COUNTRY P “
"Patrick Wright is a sensitive, ultra-thoughtful explorer.... With a large torch and copious notes he invites the reader to a number of meandering guided tours well off the main footpaths."--Tom Narin, The Guardian"A quite exceptional and richly rewarding book.... You won't feel the same about the Heritage Industry after this devastating series of iconoclastic reflections."--Colin Ward, Times Educational Supplement (UK)
"Wright is a brilliant analyst of cultural meanings and has uncovered a central truth about the force of nostalgia in modern England."--Paul Addison, London Review of Books
"In a rich and suggestive series of essays Patrick Wright explores the ways in which history itself has become the most powerful source of contemporary meanings about what Britain is and what it is to be British."--Stuart Hall
"An intriguing exploration of heritage, history, and modern society." -- Midwest Book Review
