  Explores how Europeans and Americans saw themselves in the drama of history, how they took possession of a past thought to be slipping away, and how they generated countless stories about the sorrowful, eventful paths they chose to follow. This book takes a look at the modern age: our possessions, our heritage, and our newly considered selves.
