Letters from Lockdown comprises 12 weekly letters written by the
Director of Westminster Abbey Institute during the Coronavirus
lockdown, and three accompanying essays that give the deeply
personal perspectives of a politician, a civil servant and a police
officer as the crisis unfolds. The letters are addressed to the
public servants trying to carry the nation through the peak of the
Covid-19 pandemic and were written to be a source of strength and
support. As she wrote them, the author was unaware how events would
unfold. Nevertheless, the 12-week period formed a narrative arc not
unlike a classic 'hero's journey' and the letters show some
similarities and differences between the classic plot and what the
nation and its public servants had actually been through. The
letters offer ways of strengthening public servants to make them
ready, constant and enduring in their response to the needs of the
nation. They speak of strengthening not just the soul of individual
public servants but also of their institutions. The essays address
not only the private and public struggles of public servants during
the crisis but ask what, if anything, will change in our world as a
result of the pandemic. They seek to equip public servants to
respond to and shape emerging worlds and new needs.
