The Enchanted Glass by Tom Nairn
Acclaimed anatomy of Britain's relationship with its monarchy, by foremost historian of nationalism.
A long and brilliant meditation on the nature of the British state, its identity and national culture.. one of the most powerful and original pieces of writing I have ever read on the subject. * London Review of Books *
An ambitious and ruthless dissection of the most down-market comic opera of our age. * Sunday Times *
Dazzling, cliche?-nailing ... The first serious study for more than a hundred years to take a coldly analytical look at this most emotion-charged part of our heritage, it reflects a growing sense of the peculiarity of it all. * The Observer *
