The Northumbrians have been overlooked by British and global history, but they’ve made astonishing contributions to both. Dan Jackson sets out to recover this lost history, exploring the deep roots of Northumbrian culture - hard work and heavy drinking, sociability and sentimentality, militarism and masculinity - through centuries of border warfare and dangerous industry. He explains what we can learn about Northumbria’s people from its landscape and architecture and revisits the Northumbrian Enlightenment that gave the world the locomotive and the lightbulb. This story reaches right to the present day, as this extraordinary region finds itself caught between an indifferent south and an increasingly confident Scotland.

From the Venerable Bede and the prince-bishops of Durham to Viz and Geordie Shore, this vital new history reveals a part of England with an uncertain future, but whose people remain as remarkable as ever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The best works of local history exert a fascination that transcends the merely local, and The Northumbrians is definitely one of the best." (The Sunday Times)

basically just states that northumbrians have always liked to fight.. over and over again in various ways. Jumps from period to period by the sentence and really does not explore the origins of the people like intro claims. in one paragraph, be prepared to hear variants of the premise spread across centuries. not well written for historical purposes but maybe useful for a trivia night. btw northumbrians like to fight...aparantly. if i have to hear this once more i will stop reading history forever
