What do the English think? Every country has a dominant set of beliefs & attitudes concerning everything from how to live a good life, how we should organize society, & the roles of the sexes. Yet despite many attempts to define our national character, what might be called the nation`s philosophy has remained largely unexamined. Until now. Philosopher Julian Baggini pinpointed postcode S66 on the outskirts of Rotherham, as England in microcosm
- an area which reflected most accurately the full range of the nation`s inhabitants, its most typical mix of urban & rural, old & young, married & single. He then spent six months living there, immersing himself in this typical English Everytown, in order to get to know the mind of a people. It sees the world as full of patterns & order, a view manifest in its enjoyment of gambling. It has a functional, puritanical streak, evident in its notoriously bad cuisine. In the English mind, men should be men & women should be women (but it`s not sure what children should be). Baggini`s account of the English is both a portrait of its people & a personal story about being an alien in your own l&. Sympathetic but critical, serious yet witty, ” Welcome to Everytown” shows a country in which the familiar becomes strange, & the strange familiar.
