Another England

This is not just an inspiring, nuanced and deeply literate book, but that rarest of things – a necessary one. * JONATHAN COE, author of Bourneville *I love Caroline Lucas taking her own independent-minded journey into finding a better political future for England through its mythical and literary past. * SAMIRA AHMED *Another England is a visionary book, and it’s also written in the clearest, plainest, and most eloquent prose … The author’s awareness of the complex fullness of our history is steeped in the language and the landscape, and she sees all the more clearly because of it. I was profoundly impressed. * PHILIP PULLMAN, author of His Dark Materials *Insightful, inspiring and highly readable, in this book Caroline Lucas invites us to ask ourselves a long overdue question: what type of country do we actually want to be? * KOJO KORAM, author of Uncommon Wealth *Deft and wonderfully poetic … A fascinating and thoughtful reflection on one of the most fraught and important issues of our time. * GRACE BLAKELEY, author of Vulture Capitalism *Timely, passionate and perceptive … Another England tells a new story about England and Englishness, and sets out the possibility for a progressive politics of land, place and nation. This is vital reading. * ROBERT MACFARLANE, author of Underland and The Lost Words *Caroline Lucas is a shining light of integrity and values-based politics … This is a clarion call to define England and Englishness as our common ground, and a grounding for a transformation of politics and society. * KATE PICKETT, co-author of The Spirit Level *An urgent, vital book for our fractured nation … By showing us the alternatives in our past, Caroline points to alternatives in our future … stories that must be heard more urgently than ever. * NICK HAYES, author of The Book of Trespass *Essential and magnificent. This book fills a yawning gap, showing how we can create the progressive and inclusive sense of Englishness this country so urgently needs. * GEORGE MONBIOT, author of Regenesis *A progressive vision of the country’s literary and cultural history from the trailblazing MP … [Offers] much needed crumbs of hope for the future. * GUARDIAN *
