What does it mean to be English? For centuries, Englishness was synonymous with Britishness, informed first by the political dominance of the English monarchs over the British Isles
- reaching its apogee in the rule of Elizabeth I
- & later by the island's imperial might & expansion. But alongside that tradition, reaching back to medieval times, there has also been a vision of England as the rural arcadia celebrated by painters & poets. While the mythology of empire lingers on in the national psyche, Roy Strong argues that it is the rural tradition
- combining aestheticism, pastoralism & patriotism
- that offers an answer to the present crisis of English identity. National identity essentially resides in the mind: evolving over time it is inevitably selective in how it epitomizes the ideals & aspirations of a people. In this searching & deeply passionate book, Roy Strong reveals an iconography of England rooted in the cultural imagination. Rather than simply depicting reality, art & literature have often ennobled
- & immortalised
- reality in a way that has directly affected how we see ourselves. Today we view Suffolk through the eyes of Constable, the Lake District comes to life in the poetry of Wordsworth, & the country house seems to emerge from the novels of Evelyn Waugh. Free from nationalism, chauvinism & political bias, Roy Strong offers a vision of England that is inclusive & relevant for everybody living in the country today
- an appreciation of the beauty of the English countryside, a love of nature & gardening, & a celebration of the dramas of Shakespeare, the paintings of Turner & the music of Elgar.
