Summary :

With his characteristic enthusiasm and erudition, Peter Ackroyd follows his

acclaimed London: A Biography with an inspired look into the heart and the history

of the English imagination. To tell the story of its evolution, Ackroyd ranges across

literature and painting, philosophy and science, architecture and music, from Anglo-

Saxon times to the twentieth-century. Considering what is most English about

artists as diverse as Chaucer, William Hogarth, Benjamin Britten and Viriginia Woolf,

Ackroyd identifies a host of sometimes contradictory elements: pragmatism and

whimsy, blood and gore, a passion for the past, a delight in eccentricity, and much

more. A brilliant, engaging and often surprising narrative, Albion reveals the

manifold nature of English genius.
