'Stimulating and insightful' JONATHAN FREEDLAND 'The perfect observer of a UK in crisis' JAMES HAWES Welcome to the Kingdom of Contradictions.
Global yet insular, tolerant yet suspicious, proudly pragmatic yet profoundly sentimental. The United Kingdom inspires fierce loyalty and endless argument. Ten years after Brexit, it is as divided as ever.
After twenty years of studying Britain, German historian Helene von Bismarck offers an affectionate and insightful portrait of the United Kingdom as seen by an outsider. From the enduring fantasy of Britain as a self-sufficient island to the profound devotion to a global monarchy; from imperial amnesia to modern multiculturalism, she explores the paradoxes and myths that shape British identity. Clear-eyed and witty, Fantastic Kingdom is a letter from a friend, revealing why the question of what unites the country has never mattered more than now, at a time of dramatic geopolitical change when liberal democracy is under attack. Looking backwards into history, and outwards into the global context, she closes the gap between how Britain understands itself and how it is seen abroad.
Dr Helene von Bismarck is a respected German historian and author. Her work has appeared in the Guardian, The Times, Financial Times, Foreign Policy, Red Box and Die Zeit among others. She is a regular guest on the BBC World Service, BBC Radio 4, Channel 4 News, LBC and other international broadcast outlets.
