David Matless navigates the country's complex cultural terrain, revealing the ways in which the national is entangled with the local, the regional, the European, the international, the imperial, the post-imperial and the global. He also addresses physical landscapes, from the village and country house to the urban, suburban and industrial, and reflects on the 'English modern'. About England uncovers the genealogy of recent cultural and political debates in England, showing how twenty-first-century concerns and anxieties have been moulded by events over the previous sixty years.
Reviews / Votes
In this masterly new book, David Matless unravels the complex weave of "Englishness" in its continual twists and turns over the last sixty years. In so doing, he vividly identifies polarities, fear and pride, the pastoral and the modern, and many more, while highlighting the intense, even baffling, cultural connection between landscape and nation that lies at the heart of it all. This is an important, stimulating book. * Gillian Darley, writer and broadcaster *More details
