I'm afraid this won't be a terribly useful review. I read this too long ago now to do it justice. But from what I recall, there were lots of things to think about, and new ways of looking at things. And lots of smart people were writing about smart stuff.Some of it was about how history is shaped by narrative. And several of the contributors were history scholars.And um.. some other stuff.I did get one comment while reading this book about the heart on the cover. I'm still a bit baffled by that heart myself. ( )
