Description

About England by David Matless explores how the idea of English identity has evolved since the 1960s. This cultural history examines the intersections between national and local, regional, European, international, imperial, post-imperial, and global forces that have shaped English culture and politics. From physical landscapes to artistic expressions, Matless reveals how debates about "Englishness" have intensified in recent years, particularly with the advent of Brexit. The book uncovers the genealogy of these cultural and political discussions, shedding light on the social anxieties that have developed over the past half-century. By examining various aspects of English culture, including geography, art, architecture, film, and music, Matless provides a nuanced understanding of how the national is entangled with the local. This insightful study offers a fresh perspective on the complex and multifaceted nature of English modernity.
