For 50 years, at a time when others were becoming more
internationally aware, John Betjeman immersed himself in the
glories of English culture--its locations, its literature, its
heroes. Seaside architecture, national poets, the great cathedrals,
ancient townscapes--for Betjeman, these all were hard-won
achievements with untold pleasures and delights. This delightful
collection of poems, private letters, journalism, and musings
presents a fully rounded picture of Betjeman's ideas of what it
means to be English. From his arguments for new steel buildings to
his amusement about the etiquette of village teashops, these works
reveal Betjeman not just as a sentimentalist but as a passionate
observer with a wonderful sense of humor and an acute eye.
