Synopsis

'A kaleidoscopic tour through the ways the myth of England has been articulated since the 1950s . . . an engaging read, full of intriguing stories.' - BBC History Magazine

'A scholarly yet highly accessible attempt to frame various concepts of 'England' and 'the English' against the backdrop of the past sixty years.' - Literary Review

'England' and 'Englishness' have received much attention in the twenty-first century, not least in debates over Brexit. About England explores how these concepts have been imagined since the 1960s, covering themes including politics, popular culture, geography, art, architecture, film and music.
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.'
