Description - Ancient Identities in Britain: Exploring Heritage in the Making by Richard Hingley

The first detailed study to address how Iron Age and Roman heritage in Britain is conceived and understood in the present day.

Ancient Identities in Britain explores the relevance of Iron Age and Roman heritage in modern-day Britain. Shedding new light on the continued social significance of these ancient histories, it discusses how they are presented in the form of ancient monuments, museums, reenactments, living history exhibits, community projects, and other heritage venues across England, Scotland, and Wales. The book is not only interested in the continued resonance of ancient myths and material culture, but also the very actions, ideas, and material conditions through which antiquity becomes heritage in the present--and how present values shape the way antiquity is displayed and consumed.
