This land, called South England, has been cut off from regular England since the the 1500s - and there's also a "New France" just south of it, peopled with descendants from 16th Century France. The account is based on the journal of one of the officers. "[SOUTH ENGLAND is] a large Island in the verdant heart of Antarctica inhabited since around 1500 by an English Lost Race, for whom history has stopped short. The island itself is shaped like a squat British Isles, and is dominated by South London...The ruling monarchy, descended from Plantagenets defeated in the War of the Roses, is slowly becoming dysfunctional; descriptions of the social and political world of South England are similar in tone and content to those offered by Mark Twain's mouthpiece in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889). Romance and dissension soon bring on the inevitable disaster." - Summary by TriciaG Note: There are two maps in the original text, in the frontispiece and after page 12, if one would like to refer to them during the story.]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/7078643/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Books</category><copyright>Copyright Humor Genre</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/1eb225241841bdabdf22238049f437b7.jpg</url><title>Centuries Apart</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/centuries-apart--7078643</link></image><lastBuildDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 07:52:59 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Edward T.
