A History of Britain Through Books: 1900 - 1964

Christopher Tugendhat takes readers on a journey through Britain as told through seminal books of the twentieth century; from Lord of the Flies to A Room of One's Own, to Heart of Darkness. Exploring the experiences, attitudes and prejudices of the previous century and how they've shaped modern Britain, we gain a unique insight into the politics, social changes and psyche of a nation undergoing enormous transitions within itself and the world at large.
