Argues that during the reign of Henry VIII, a false view of the English past was deliberately created by the government, becoming so deeply embedded in the minds of most English people that it became part of their folklore and one of the most powerful assumptions operating on their thought for four centuries. This erroneous history created an England that was to become increasingly nationalistic and insular in its worldview. The author explores the creation of that history primarily through the mechanism of the preambles to the statutes of the Reformation Parliament in the period 1532-6.
