Title: Brewer's Anthology of England and the English
Description: Cassell, 2003. Paperback. Pp: 532. 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. Rule Britannia! Here is England's very essence, captured in an anthology of more than 1,500 quotes.
