In the brilliantly perceptive The English People, he lists the national characteristics as 'suspicion of foreigners, sentimentality about animals, hypocrisy, exaggerated class distinctions and an obsession with sport'. The Road to Wigan Pier, his blistering account of poverty in the north of England, and many of his essays, attack what he called 'the most class-ridden country under the sun', while other writings here ruminate on the merits of cricket, gardening, roast dinners, pubs, tea and seaside postcards.Edited by Peter Davison with an Introduction by Ben PimlottCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, History, Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
