{"product_id":"9780571286836","title":"The Condition of England","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe Condition of England\u003c\/b\u003e was first published in 1909. Faber Finds are reissuing it to celebrate its one hundredth anniversary. Although copies are now hard to come by, it was a success on first publication running quickly into six editions. It has often been likened to Matthew Arnold's \u003cb\u003eCulture and Anarchy\u003c\/b\u003e though it is more sombre. Charles Masterman, who was in the Liberal Government when he wrote this, provides a penetrating, sceptical and unsettling anatomy of Edwardian England, seeing beneath the imperial splendour a society 'fissured into unnatural plenitude on the one hand and ... an unnatural privation on the other'. This remains a work of acute social analysis.","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106466480368,"sku":"9780571286836","price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571286836_p0.jpg?v=1769897050","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571286836","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
