The English are often confused about who they are. They say ‘ British’ when they mean ‘ English’, & ‘ English’ when they should say ‘ British.’

But when Engl&, more than the rest of the UK, voted to leave the EU, polls showed national identity was a big concern. So it’s time the English sorted out in their minds what it means to be English.

A nation’s character is moulded by its history. & in ‘ Who Do the English Think They Are?’ historian & journalist, Derek J. Taylor travels the length & breadth of the country to find answers. He discovers that the first English came from Germany, & then in the later Middle Ages almost became French.

He tracks down the origins of English respect for the rule of law, tolerance & a love of political stability. &, when he reaches Victorian times, he investigates the arrogance & snobbishness that have sometimes blighted English behaviour. Finally, Taylor looks ahead.

He asks – faced with uncharted waters post-Brexit, what is it is in their national character that will help guide the English people now?
