Aside from historical material, and I do agree it is all fascinating, it has no potential use outside of that. For the longest time Britain was all well and good, but the British Empire occured and much of the world went to shit, as it was already going to shit.

You have places with rich amounts of history that are totally ignored, and you then have nationalists talking about how beautiful and full of history Britain is, automatically, on top of the bias I just was speaking of.

What this ends in, is a perpetual associating of literature with Anglo, when that is not accurate.

Not even other parts of Europe come to mind when you speak of the Dark Ages, yet they were in a much darker place being brutalized by Barbarians post the fall of Rome.

Why do you think I shouldn't be in this thread, when I haven't read Chauncer, when you've hardly even read any kind of Bulgarian literature, let alone know the existence of societies like Kievan Rus'.

Which is the problem with nationalist bias, again.

Also, while I agree Shepard's Pie is great, you stole Tea right from the hands of East Asia, and you're responsible for shit like Buckling when you invaded the world for spices. At the very least when you take over the planet for spice, you could use it.
