Abstract
History is inescapable. We carry our past with us: the burden of humanity. But our past does not own us; we own it. It is not history, but memory, re-formed and remade in our own image. The nation owns its own memories but it does not own them exclusively because they are embodied in stories. And everybody loves a good story.1
