Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. -England is the country, and the country is England-, as Stanley Baldwin famously said in 1924, but what kind of country was it? There are persistent memories of depression and depopulation, of dilapidated villages and deserted country houses, in a period of bitter discontent and disturbance when the brief febrile excitements of the 1920s gave way to the thirties, Auden's -low dishonest decade-.BR> Recent work has radically modified the history of the interwar years, but largely from an urban and industrial viewpoint.
