This authoritative new history of place and people lays out the dramatic events that created the north – waves of migration, invasions and battles, and transformative changes wrought on European culture and the global economy. In a sweeping narrative that takes us from the earliest times to the present day, the book shows that the people of the north have shaped Britain and the world in unexpected ways. At least six Roman emperors ruled from York. The Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria was Europe’s leading cultural and intellectual centre. Cartimandua, Queen of the Brigantes, deserves to be as famous as Boudica. Neanderthals and Vikings, Central European Jews, African-Caribbeans and South Asians, have all played their part in the making and remaking of the north. Northern writers, activists, artists and comedians are celebrated the world over, from Wordsworth, the Brontes and Gaskell to LS Lowry, Emmeline Pankhurst and Peter Kay. St Oswald and Bede shaped the spiritual and cultural landscapes of Britain and Europe, and the world was revolutionised by the inventions of Richard Arkwright and the Stephensons. The north has exported some of sport’s biggest names and defined the sound of generations, from the Beatles to Britpop. Northerners also shows convincingly how the past echoes down the centuries. The devastation of factory and pit closures in the 1980s, for example, recalled the trauma of William the Conqueror’s Harrying of the North. The book charts how the north-south divide has ebbed and flowed and explores the very real divisions between northerners, such as the rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire. Finally, Brian Groom explores what northernness means today and the crucial role the north can play in Britain’s future. As new forces threaten the fabric of the UK again, this landmark book could scarcely be more timely. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 12.9 x 2.8 x 19.8 cm | | Isbn 10 | 0008471231 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0008471231 | | Item Weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 432 pages | | Publication Date | 25 May 2023 | | Publisher | HarperNorth | ## Images ![Northerners: The bestselling history of the North of England - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fIgEepWOL.jpg) ![Northerners: The bestselling history of the North of England - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518U6qvSVPL.jpg) ![Northerners: The bestselling history of the North of England - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Wsn6zvGyL.jpg) ![Northerners: The bestselling history of the North of England - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gbcwT+pxL.jpg) ![Northerners: The bestselling history of the North of England - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nokGUSWPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So interesting. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 February 2026* A fascinating history of the north and what influenced its progression through the ages makes for a really good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a good read *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 February 2026* A good little jaunty read through the history of the northern people of Britain.I’m not normally for a history book like this, I like a more dramatised version of it. So naming people and places and connections drags on a bit for me but it’s very well researched and mostly unbiased in its delivery of facts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ History and more *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 April 2022* As histories go, this is very complete, from the first Northerners we known about right up to the present day. It's meticulously researched, giving back strong background and defining that most nebulous of things - what is the north? But with the Industrial Revolution, the North came into its own, and more recent days are examined in greater detail (possibly because we have greater detail) - industry, arts, sciences, until of the contributions of us folk up here simply can'd denied or dismissed.That said, it's all done with the wonderfully light touch of a seasoned, gifted uthor who knows how to organise his material and draw the best from it. We may never know quite what makes Northerns tick, but we have no doubt about where they come from and what they've achived. An outstanding achievement. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/531522648-northerners-the-bestselling-history-of-the-north-of-england](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/531522648-northerners-the-bestselling-history-of-the-north-of-england) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-10*
