In Defence of Aristocracy by Peregrine Worsthorne

In Defence of Aristocracy by Peregrine Worsthorne

In this controversial and hotly discussed book, Sir Peregrine presents a reactionary and playful look at the origins, evolution and demise of the aristocracy.

‘Peregrine Worsthorne…has long been our most elegantly provocative journalist…lively and fascinating…if his book had been twice as realistic it would also have been only half as much fun’ Mail on Sunday

‘Compelling and beautifully explained…interesting and important’ Andrew Marr, Daily Telegraph

‘Elegant and often highly amusing…entertaining’ Sunday Telegraph

‘Sir Peregrine is a romantic…we should admire his intention and welcome an essay whose style is so reminiscent of the man.’ The Spectator

Sir Peregrine, 79, is one of the most distinguished and outspoken editors of recent times – he worked at the Daily Telegraph between 1953 and 1961 and for 28 years at the Sunday Telegraph between 1961 and 1989, spending five years as deputy editor and three as editor. He was knighted in 1991.
