John Betjeman: Collected Poems

Betjeman’s poetry harks back to a more accessible British tradition that includes Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Thomas Hardy. With quiet wit he resisted the debasements of modern mass culture in favour of an older England simpler, more rural, and more religious than the current one. Introduction by The Earl of Birkenhead.
