«The English: A Portrait of a People» is the historical essay by Jeremy Paxman, published by Penguin in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Jeremy Paxman explores the identity of the English, not the British in general, and their insecurity about who they are. Drawing on history, sport, attitudes to foreigners, sex, food and language, he analyses their fondness for feeling persecuted, their obsession with games and their hypocrisy, and paints a collective portrait full of anecdotes.
The work was originally published in 1998; this English edition, from 2007 in paperback, has 320 pages.
For readers of history and essays interested in English culture and society, through the eyes of journalist and broadcaster Jeremy Paxman.
Jeremy Dickson Paxman is an English former broadcaster, journalist and author, born in Yorkshire.
