The ObserverHell be on the National Treasure list pretty soon The TimesThree years before George Orwell made his expedition to the far and frozen North JB Priestley who had grown up there after all cast his net wider, writing a book subtitled a Rambling but Truthful Account of What One Man Saw and Heard and Felt and Thought During a Journey Through England During the Autumn of the Year 1933. It was a huge and immediate success. A timeless classic, it is scathing about vested interests, intensely patriotic and politically progressive.English Journey is warm, funny, tender. But tough. There is steel here too. J B Priestleys elegant and readable prose, written for a mass audience, is just as forensic a reading of a changing England and just as passionate a call to arms as anything in Orwells bleak masterpiece. Moreover, it both captured and catalysed the public mood. But its more than this. Its a love letter, albeit an exasperated one, to a country that he loves and yet finds unfathomable.Stuart Maconie has often expressed much of the same passions and puzzlement. Now, ninety years on, he intends to take an English Journey of his own, with Priestleys thirties itinerary as guide. How does the country look now, as it reopens and re-emerges from this ice age of doubt and insecurity. Re-energised? Hungry for change? Or moribund, dazed and desperate for old certainties.Revisiting English Journey, interrogating its insights and perspectives, walking in Priestleys footsteps and riding the roads and rails he did, Maconies latest is popular, timely and entertaining, taking the form of a sustained lovers quarrel with England, as did the original....(*_*)9780008498283_A Sunday Times Book of the Week and Top 10 Bestseller A Times bestseller A Waterstones Paperback of the Year 2024 A Spectator Book of the YearWhat kind of country is England today?What does it mean to be English?Are we hungry for change or seeking old certainties?Join Stuart Maconie on an enlightening, entertaining journey through England, from Bristols Banksy to Durhams beaches, from Cotswolds corduroy to Stokes oatcakes.As his guide, Maconie walks in the footsteps of J.B.
