Simon Winder Quotes

In Transylvania It Was Memories Of The Romanian Revolt That Stalked The Hungarian Aristocratic Imagination.. In Galicia It Was Memories Of Tarnow That Performed A Similar Service For The Surviving Polish Noble Families. Both Societies Shared Something Of The Brittle, Sports-obsessed Cheerfulness Of The British In India - Or Indeed Of Southerners In The Pre-1861 United States. These Were Societies Which Could Resort To Any Level Of Violence In Support Of Racial Supremacy. Indeed, An Interesting Global History Could Be Written About The Ferocity Of A Period Which Seems, Very Superficially, To Be So 'civilized'. Southern White Responses To Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion In 1831, With Turner Himself Flayed, Beheaded And Quartered, Can Be Linked To The British Blowing Rebel Indians To Pieces From The Mouths Of Cannons In 1857.
