England by Roger Scruton

This text provides an account of England. It covers all aspects of the English inheritance at a time when other UK nationalisms are flourishing and English nationalism disapproved of. In this personal tribute Scruton provides an account which is both an illuminating analysis of its institutions and culture, and a celebration of its virtues.
'Elegant and moving..a classic elegy...The book's great virtue is its coherent and tender view of an indisputable and admirable strain of Englishness now undoubtedly at bay.' Melvyn Bragg, Independent
