HISTORY OF ENGLAND IN 25 POEMS (HB)

This is the history of England told in a new way: glimpsed through twenty-five remarkable poems written down between the eighth century and today. Vivid voices and surprising stories sit alongside familiar landmarks, in language that speaks in new ways on each reading. Catherine Clarke's knowledge and passion take us inside the words and the moments they capture, with thoughtful insights, humour and new perspectives on how the nation has dreamed itself into existence - and who gets to tell England's story.
