The Story of Britain during the long reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Find out how Britain changed in this entrancing, lively portrait of Britain'
s Elizabethan Age by bestselling writer and broadcaster Andrew Marr
Britain changed fundamentally during the Queen'
s long, distinguished reign. So who made modern Britain the country it is today How do we sum up the kind of people we are What did it mean to be the new Elizabethans
In this wonderfully told history, spanning back to when Queen Elizabeth became queen in 1953, Andrew Marr traces the people who have made Britain the country it is today. From the activists to the artists, the sports heroes to the innovators, these people pushed us forward, changed the conversation, encouraged us to eat better, to sing, think and to protest. They got things done. How will our generation be remembered in a hundred years'
time And when you look back at Britain'
s toughest moments in the past seventy years, what do you learn about its people and its values
In brilliantly entertaining style and with unexpected insights into some of our sung and unsung heroes, this is our story as Elizabethans - the story of how 1950s Britain evolved into the diverse country we live in today. In short, it is the history of modern Britain.
Featuring: David Attenborough. Marcus Rashford. Jan Morris. Diana Dors. Bob Geldof. David Olusoga. Elizabeth David. Zaha Hadid. Frank Crichlow. Quentin Crisp. Dusty Springfield. Captain Tom - and many others.
