Résumé
Ralph Samuel, Grand Narratives There has never been an agreed or authorized version of the national past. Rather it has been an arena where rival interpretations and competing narratives contend. Perhaps, rather than constructing, or canvassing, ideal syllabuses, we might do better to return to some of history's older strengths, as they were exhibited in the schoolroom, the lecture hall and the library. One of the merits of school history is that it refuses the demarcations between global and British history.
