'This book is a tribute to [Stein's] appreciation of the land of
his adoption and, to those who knew him, it is a monument to his
penetrative powers of spiritual perception.' - A.P. Shepherd At a
time when British identity is being reassessed and questioned, W.J.
Stein's classic and timeless study, with its penetrative analysis
of the character, psychology and destiny of the British people,
takes on new relevance. Stein, a political refugee from Austria,
spent the last 24 years of his life in Britain. As an outsider, he
was able to view British custom and culture with objectivity. As a
student of Rudolf Steiner, he brought years of spiritual study and
wisdom to the writing of this book, enabling profound insights. In
this concise and aphoristic study, Stein writes on everything from
geography, history, politics and economics to the arts (in
particular painting and music) and religion. He also reflects on
the British concept of freedom, as well as Great Britain's somewhat
mysterious propensity to extend itself - and its language and
culture - across the world. 'Amidst the international turmoils of
today the Delphic word can be heard to resound from all sides, in
its metamorphosed form: "Know yourselves as folk-souls!" Stein's
little book is an invaluable contribution to such a
super-individual self-knowledge.' - T.H. Meyer
