Reviews
'This pithy history argues that England's tolerant brand of nationalism has been a force for good.'
'A balanced account of a subject mired in confusion and emotion . . . absorbing . . . Black succeeds in showing the deep roots of a sense of "Englishness"'.
'A concise historical survey.'
'Jeremy Black is an outstanding historian of ideas and one of the leading historians of these islands. This survey of English national feeling is penetrating, original, and incredibly well-informed. Its publication could not be more timely, or its subject matter more relevant, and there is no better guide to this issue than Professor Black.' -- Rt Hon Michael Gove MP
'Jeremy Black's book on English nationalism could not be more timely. He puts complex issues regarding British and English identity, patriotism, ethnicity and nationhood into their proper historical context, and makes them perfectly comprehensible. As we move towards a largely English-led Brexit, this well-written, well-informed and lively book will provide invaluable guidance.' -- Andrew Roberts, author of 'Churchill: Walking with Destiny'
'The distinction between Englishness and Britishness is one of the most crucial issues of our time. Jeremy Black's lucid and intelligent analysis strides through Tudor exceptionalism and the rise and fall of British imperialism right through to the present day. It is an excellent guide to the sources of Britain's current distress.' -- Professor Norman Davies, author of 'Beneath Another Sky: A Global Journey into History'
