( ) At a time when Scottish, Welsh and Irish nationalisms are flourishing and English nationalism is disapproved, Roger Scruton's poignant and personal tribute shows that there really is such a country as England, that it has a distinct personality and endows its residents with a distinct moral ideal. He charts the loss of this culture with the rise of pop "culture" and the cultural colonialism of the USA. no reviews | add a review
