Book Description
In this poignant and personal tribute Roger Scruton gives an account of England which is both an illuminating analysis of its institutions and culture, and a celebration of its virtues. Covering all aspects of the English inheritance, and informed by a unique philosophical vision, England: An Elegy shows that there is such a country as England, that it has a distinct personality and endows its residents with a distinct moral ideal.

Dear Old England August 8, 2006
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Those that lament the passing of some of the very best qualities that made England a great country will find solace in Roger Scruton's wonderfully written book. Of course nothing stays the same, though sometimes we might wish it to. I think that readers who are English and who were born around the middle of the twentieth century will find this book particularly poignant, and, in some ways, incredibly sad.
