England, My England, E-bok
England, My England' is a collection of short stories written between the years 1913-1921, including the notable 'Wintry Peacock'. Set against the backdrop of World War One, Lawrence uses them as a means to explore the complexity of human relationships and the human psyche. His provocative and controversial prose is unmissable for fans of Anton Chekhov's psychological musings. DH Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English poet and novelist. Famed for his lyrical prose, he was uncompromising in his mission to uncover the consequences of modernity and industrialization, particularly on sexuality, instinct, and spontaneity. His works, although innovative, were not truly appreciated until after his death, the most notable of which 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' was adapted to screen in 1981.

Southgate articulated a moral vision that was beyond anything attempted by a generation of British politicians.' Guardian ‘A tremendous book’ Chris Evans ‘Many of us find ourselves called upon to be leaders at some point in our lives.
