About the book

Priestley's English Journey records a wide-ranging tour through England during the 1930s, undertaken at a time of deep economic and social change. Travelling through industrial towns, rural communities and growing suburbs, Priestley observes unemployment, class division, changing landscapes and the effects of modern industry. The book combines travel writing with social commentary, creating a vivid portrait of England between the wars and a thoughtful examination of the country's contrasts and inequalities.
