"England's greatest artistic contributions have come in the fields of theatre, literature and architecture. The country is also, right or wrong, a treasure house of art and sculpture, from every age and continent.

Anyone who has studied English literature at school will remember ploughing through Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens and Morrissey, and painful though it might have been at the time, no-one can deny England's formidable contribution to the Western literary canon. The heavyweights of modern English fiction are Peter Ackroyd, Martin Amis, Julian Barnes, AS Byatt, Margaret Drabble, Ian McEwan and Jeanette Winterson."

Ploughing through Morrissey at school? Not when I was at school. Blimey, is his work on the curriculum across the globe?
