📱 eBook en inglés LOW COUNTRY

Shortlisted for the New Angle Prize 2019

Low Country records his probing, hallucinatory journeys along crumbling sea-walls and through retail parks, past abandoned military forts and plotlands. He uncovers an ancient battlefield upstream from a decommissioned nuclear power station, visits Englands most deprived community and treks the remote and beautiful Dengie peninsula in search of forgotten stories.

In the treacherous mudflats and coastal resorts of Englands eastern edge, an alternative vision begins to emerge, shaken by Brexit and the rise of new, populist politics in Britain and America. In this low country of vast horizons, where land and sea are in constant flux, Bolton discovers a hidden history of invasion, resistance and radical thinking. A timely new book from the celebrated author of Londons Lost Rivers and Vanished City, Low Country repositions the edgelands of Essex at the political and imaginative heart of England.
