Why is this fault line such a persistent feature of the English landscape? 'The Northern Question' is a history of England seen in the unfamiliar light of a northern perspective. While London is the capital and the centre for trade and finance, the proclaimed leader of the nation, northern England has always seemed like a different country. In the nineteenth century its industrializing society appeared set to bring a political revolution down upon Westminster and the City. Tom Hazeldine recounts how subsequent governments put finance before manufacturing, London ahead of the regions, and austerity before reconstruction."-- Publisher's website. https://www.versobooks.com/books/3907-the-northern-question: accessed 7 October 2021.
