The English A Portrait of a People
Author: Jeremy Paxman
In the light of membership of Europe, the loss of an Empire and a devolved United Kingdom, the English no longer seem to know who they are. Using literary sources and interviews, the author attempts to define -- or redefine -- English identity at the turn of the Millennium.
