The Story of England (Michael Wood)

In May 2011 I attended a Swindon Festival of Literature event featuring historian Michael Wood talking about his book and BBC TV Series which sought to tell the Story of England through detailed study of one particular place - the village of Kibworth, Leicestershire. The Autumn 2011 edition of Albion Magazine includes my review of this and the book. Check the links page and take a wander over there and take a look - it's a very interesting and wide-ranging magazine, brilliantly edited by Isabel Taylor, that brings a liberal perspective to various explorations into English identity and culture.
