Englishness has been hijacked by the right. This book will help take it back.

'A visionary book' Philip Pullman 'Essential and magnificent' George Monbiot 'Deft and wonderfully poetic' Grace Blakeley

The right have hijacked Englishness. Can it be reclaimed?

Today, the only people who dare speak of Englishness are cheerleaders for Brexit, exceptionalism and imperial nostalgia. But there is another England,, hiding in plain sight, which is dramatically more inclusive, green and forward looking. Here, a leading progressive politician delves deep into England's history to sketch out another vision of English identity - one that we can all embrace to build a greener, fairer future.

'Not just an inspiring, nuanced and deeply literate book, but that rarest of things - a necessary one.' Jonathan Coe, author of Bourneville

Reviews for Another England: How to Reclaim Our National Story

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 *
