The History of Britain Revealed by M J Harper
Think you know where the English language came from? This work seeks to destroy the cherished national myths of the English, the Scots, the Welsh, the Irish and the French. It shows that: most of the entries in the Oxford English Dictionary are wrong; the whole of British place-name theory is misconceived; Latin is not what it seems; and more.
"'Witty, provocative, persuasive and originalThis book brings a blast of fresh air to British history and liberates the English from a confused creation myth. It made scales fall from my eyes.' Dr Rupert Sheldrake 'Mind-blowing, incredibly entertaining stuff' Daily Mail 'Unusual, funny and provocative, Harper wears his learning lightly but has a serious point to make... fascinating' New Statesman 'The best re-writing of history since 1066 And All That' Fortean Times 'The most outrageous book I have ever read' The Oldie"
M.J. Harper is an author, revisionist historian and self-proclaimed proud contrarian who lives in Notting Hill, London.
