Hutchinson Heinemann scoops Carr's 'thrilling' history in four-way auction - July, 2021

Commissioning editor Anna Argenio acquired UK and Commonwealth rights to This England from Rachel Mills at Rachel Mills Literary. The recently announced Hutchinson Heinemann imprint will publish in spring 2024 as a flagship title on the list.

The publisher said: "This England will tell the story of the 14th century – a pivotal period in English history and a clear mirror to our own times. Beginning with the birth of Edward III in 1312 and ending with the death of Richard II in 1399, the book will largely follow the experiences of the last Plantagenets as well as uncovering lesser-known voices and stories. This will be a thrilling narrative account of a century of revolution – social, political and cultural – which continues to shape our understanding of English national identity and history."
