In The English Jeremy Paxman sets out to find about the English.
Not the British overall, not the Scots, not the Irish or Welsh, but
the English. Why do they seem so unsure of who they are? Jeremy
Paxman is to many the embodiment of Englishness yet even he is
sometimes forced to ask: who or what exactly are the English? And
in setting about addressing this most vexing of questions, Paxman
discovers answers to a few others. Like: Why do the English
actually enjoy feeling persecuted? What is behind the English
obsession with games? How did they acquire their odd attitudes to
sex and to food? Where did they get their extraordinary capacity
for hypocrisy? Covering history, attitudes to foreigners, sport,
stereotypyes, language and much, much more, The English brims over
with stories and anecdotes that provide a fascinating portrait of a
nation and its people. 'Intelligent, well-written, informative and
funny...A book to chew on, dip into, quote from and exploit in
arguments' Andrew Marr, Observer 'Bursting with good things' Daily
Telegraph Jeremy Paxman is a journalist, best known for his work
presenting Newsnight and University Challenge. His books include
Empire, On Royalty, The English and The Political Animal. He lives
in Oxfordshire.
