The Spirit of Britain by Sir Roy Strong
From the Celts to the present day, Strong highlights the political, economic and social forces that have driven the course of the arts. In addition he has inserted cameos of people such as Cardinal Wolsey in Tudor England and Kenneth Clark in the 20th century whose taste and influence have reached beyond their individual lives.
