Synopsis

First printing.

From the Back Cover

“Ackroyd covers not only literature but art, architecture, music and almost everything else that has passed through the minds of the English...just one damn interesting thing after another.” -- Sunday Times

“Albion is an explosion, full of particles whizzing through air...crammed, digressive, learned, knotted.” -- Daily Telegraph
From the Trade Paperback edition.
