    A sweeping history of how ecological challenges have shaped English society over the last sixty years. England's Green explores how environmental concerns have shaped and reflected English national identity since the 1960s. From agriculture to leisure, climate change, folklore, archaeology, and religion, David Matless shows how national environmental debates connect to the local, regional, global, and postcolonial worlds. Moving across a breadth of material including government policy, popular music, ecological polemic, and television comedy, England's Green shows the richness and complexity of English environmental culture. Along the way, Matless tracks how today's debates over climate and nature, land, and culture, have been molded by events over the past sixty years.

    A cultural history of "Englishness" and the idea of England since 1960. Brexit thrust long fraught debates about "Englishness" and the idea of England into the spotlight. About England explores imaginings of English identity since the 1960s in politics, geography, art, architecture, film, and music. David Matless reveals how the national is entangled with the local, the regional, the European, the international, the imperial, the post-imperial, and the global. He also addresses physical landscapes, from the village and country house to urban, suburban, and industrial spaces, and he reflects on the nature of English modernity. In short, About England uncovers the genealogy of recent cultural and political debates in England, showing how many of today's social anxieties developed throughout the last half-century.
