E. H. Carr recounts with malicious wit the example of the eminent historian Herbert Butterfield who, in 1931, published The Whig Interpretation of History, a devastating polemic against that quintessential English national myth: the conception of English history as a story of the realisation of a spirit of liberty under the leadership of a patriotic landed class.
