This book is a unique exploration of English art, offering a departure from the traditional portrayal of lords and ladies, tall ships, and haywains. Instead, it delves into the enigmatic and unsettling psychic landscapes of England, capturing an unhinged Albion where magic, rebellion, and destruction reign supreme. Whether your family has resided in these shores for millennia or just four years, you are a castaway on these fabled lands. Within these pages, you will encounter depictions of ancient trackways, chalk carvings, and standing stones, as well as animal-masked community rituals, streets set ablaze in protest, occult dreams, and psychedelic prophecies.

The collection boasts over 200 images created by a diverse range of artists, including renowned names such as William Blake, J.M.W. Turner, Samuel Palmer, Paul Nash, Louis Wain, Bill Brandt, Derek Jarman, and Ithell Colquhoun, as well as contemporary visionaries like Paula Rego, Cathy de Monchaux, George Shaw, Jamie Reid, Matt Collishaw, Tacita Dean, Lina Iris Viktor, Yinka Shonibare, Nick Waplington, Dan Hillier, Nicola Tyson, Sutapa Biswas, and Chila Kumari Burman. These captivating images are accompanied by concise texts by Mat Osman, delving into the realms of magic, mazes, ghosts, gardens, shipwrecks, and cities. Together, these poetic renderings of a spectral isle reclaim Albion as an eternally inspiring and anarchic domain—an England on fire.
