Recenzii
Review from Hardback editionIn his exhaustively researched, elegantly written and immensely engaging study, Langford identifies the national characteristics as energy, candour, decency, taciturnity, reserve and eccentricity.
Langford sets out to prove his case in a robust, no-nonsense, thoroughly empirical manner.
Langford has found some real gems in his vast mine of material.
Langford himself has a pleasantly dry wit.
This wonderful book brings such detail and generalisation together by being organised not chronologivally but by 'six major supposed traits of Englishness': Energy, Candour, Decency, Taciturnity, Reserve, Eccentricity. Langford has read widely and unpredictably, especially in accounts that have never been translated into English. This has allowed him to produce a book that is, in one respect, brilliantly un-English: it is fascinated by what foreigners have thought.
