The English. A Portrait of a People by Jeremy Paxman

'As good and as funny a description of the current state of our race as you will find anywhere.' Henry Porter, Guardian 'He tos and fros between sources as various as Brief Encounter and Mrs Miniver - through byways which include a jewel of an encounter between Bernie Grant MP and the Duke of Edinburgh, a brilliant analysis of the Church of England and Dostoevsky's impressions of 19th-century London... It is hard to think of anyone better than Jeremy Paxman to shove the English in the right direction.' Carmen Callil, Daily Telegraph 'Stimulating, adventurous and witty.' The Times. This 1999 Penguin Books Ltd Paperback is in good condition.
