The English: A Portrait of a People
This is an interesting read, partly because the author felt it necessary to write it. But recent history and current politics — the devolution of Britain, as Scotland and Wales exercise their autonomy, and the general malaise about the future — make the notion of England and the English a basis for discussion.
Recommended for Anglophiles as well as the English and British. I’ve not finished it yet, but have enjoyed it so far, debunkings and all.
