Mass production, increased mobility, and the forceful promotion of corporate identity have brought with them standardized stores, farms, factories, and front doors. Filled with the most distinctive tidbits of English culture past and present, England in Particular is a counterblast to uniformity and a celebration of the details and characteristics that cumulatively form England as a people and nation. The culmination of more than twenty years’  work and research, this is a treasure trove of all things truly English.
