In this acclaimed 1998 book David Lowenthal explains the rise of the obsession with 'heritage' and the past, and examines its power for both good and evil.

Everything from Disneyland to the Holocaust Museum, from the Balkan wars to the Northern Irish troubles, from Elvis memorabilia to the Elgin Marbles bears the marks of the cult of heritage. In this acclaimed 1998 book David Lowenthal explains the rise of this obsession with the past and examines its power for both good and evil.
