Village That Died for England Zusammenfassung

Village That Died for England: The Strange Story of Tyneham Patrick Wright

Tyneham is the archetypal lost village: a Dorset hamlet in a beautiful valley, evacuated to make a training area during World War II and never returned to its inhabitants despite Churchill's pledge of restitution. It has lurked in the national imagination ever since; the symbol of a vanished England. This study is a subtle parable about the politics of landscape and a masterpiece of English irony. The Faber edition has been revised to take into account material that has come to light and includes many additional illustrations.

Village That Died for England Bewertungen

'Sensational... I don't think I have read a better book about this country.' Michael Hofmann 'An extraordinary story - a gift for a shrewd and cynical commentator... This is a book to be read, a nicely instructive tale of our times.' Penelope Lively 'Wright is, as ever, a finder, a noticer, a powerful sustainer of argument. He brokers the most unlikely connections: Llewellyn and the tank, chalk strollers and local fascists.' Iain Sinclair

Über Patrick Wright

Patrick Wright's books include The Village that Died for England, of which Michael Hofmann wrote 'I don't think I have read a better book about this country', and A Journey Through Ruins, acclaimed in the Observer as the work of 'a pin-sharp miniaturist who can see the world in a grain of sand'. He presents 'Nightwaves' for BBC Radio 3, and recently wrote and presented 'The River', a popular BBC2 television series about the Thames at the beginning of the 21st century. In 2001 he was co-curator of Tate Britain's exhibition of paintings and drawings of Stanley Spencer. Tank: The Progress of a Monstrous War Machine was published in 2000.
