The Northumbrians

North-East England and its People -- A New History

Dan Jackson

Discover the often-overlooked contributions of the Northumbrians in this fascinating new history book. Author Dan Jackson delves into the deep roots of Northumbrian culture, exploring themes of hard work, heavy drinking, militarism, and masculinity through centuries of conflict and industry. From the Northumbrian Enlightenment to the present day, Jackson brings to light the unique identity of this extraordinary region caught between an indifferent south and a confident Scotland.

I finish @northumbriana’s The Northumbrians: North East England & Its People, which is a wonderful book: full of amazing detail, wise, humane & balanced. Often hilarious, often upsetting; in love with its subject, but never blind to its problems. I can’t recommend it enough.      source
