It is said that
history is written by the winners. However, the “winners” aren’t always
the best historians. Enter David Haviland, to set the record straight.
In his quirky, inimitable style, Haviland separates fact from fiction
regarding some of history’s most well-known people and events, such as:
Lady Godiva:
By far, history’s most famous nudist equestrian. But how nude was she,
really? And how did this same legend give rise to the term “Peeping
Tom”?
The Boston Tea Party: What was the cause of this famous “party” that wasn’t really a party? (Hint: If you guessed a rise in taxes, you’re dead wrong!)
World War I: How did a directionally challenged chauffeur spark the Great War?
Queen Victoria:
Nowadays, the word “Victorian” is synonymous with stuffy prudishness.
But would a prude pose nude for a provocative portrait, or become
“close” with a young Indian servant?
In The Not-So-Nude Ride of Lady Godiva,
Haviland untangles fallacy, farce, and misrepresentation of historic
proportions. The end result is a wholly fascinating, highly educational
compendium of historical folly that will entertain readers young and
old!
