Read Now Download Now

In "The English," Jeremy Paxman sets out to find out about the English. Not the British overall, not the Scots, not the Irish or Welsh, but the English. A book on what constitutes Englishness, and what are considered the essential characteristics and values. Using literary sources and interviews, he attempts to define how “Englishness” has changed over this century, and what it is now both in our own and outsider’s views.

Covering history, attitudes to foreigners, sport, stereotypes, language and much, much more, "The English" brims over with stories and anecdotes that provide a fascinating portrait of a nation and its people.
