More intangibly, public history seemed to offer some form of deeper cultural and psychological nourishment for a secular, mobile society lacking the traditional signifiers of religion, class and community--a situation, as Eric Hobsbawm put it in the introduction to his Age of Extremes, which is arguably in danger of transforming post-modern man back towards the timeless mentality of pre-modern man. The author is so skilled in these subtle touches that most of his trompe l'oeil distances and directions have the effect of making things already depicted as far away recede indefinitely, and of rendering quite inaccessible things situated rather intangibly near at hand.
