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 and forward looking. Here, Caroline Lucas delves deep into England's literary history to sketch out alternative stories of who we are - ones that we can all embrace to build a greener, fairer future.

Critics Review

  • 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.

    The Greens’ respect for the environment is essentially about respecting us all as part of our mutual social/physical environment. There is much that is interesting here and the suggestions for further reading/listening will keep me busy for a while. I hope they form part at least of our next government as they represent a new vision of a much more equal UK.

    I very much enjoyed this thought provoking and challenging listen. Lucas offers hope, realism and deep insight, she has helped me begin to get to grips with my own identity as a troubled woke patriot.
