Appearing first in 1934, it was a huge and immediate success. Today, it still stands as a timeless classic: warm-hearted, intensely patriotic and profound. An account of his journey through England-from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich and home-is funny and tender. But it is also a forensic reading of a changing England and a call to arms as passionate as anything in Orwell's bleak masterpiece. Moreover, it both captured and catalyzed the public mood of its time. In capturing and describing an English landscape and people hitherto unseen, writing scathingly about vested interests and underlining the dignity of working people, Priestley influenced the thinking and attitudes of an entire generation and helped formulate a public consensus for change that led to the birth of the welfare state. Prophetic and as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, is an elegant and readable love letter to a country Priestley finds unfathomable.
