Rule Britannia! Here is England's very essence, captured in an anthology of more than 1,500 quotes. Here is an authentically English "parliament of voices" drawn from a wide range of historical and contemporary sources--from Bede to Betjeman, Langland to Larkin--and that encompasses not only traditional English, but also Asian and Afro-Caribbean English of the third millennium. Arranged thematically (questions of identity, a touch of class), the words come from some of England's finest writers. From the patriotic and laudatory to the dissident and choleric, it's richly entertaining.
