      The English, says the author, "stand in need of a new sense of home and belonging, and a re-assessment of who they are". This is a history of who they were, with present needs in mind. It begins by considering how the English state created an English nation which, from very early days, refused to see itself simply as the state's creature. There was more to being English than paying taxes and obeying a king. It considers also how that nation survived shattering revolutions in industry, urban living and global conflict while at the same time retaining a softer, more humane vision of themselves and their land. There was more to living in England than work and wages, there was more to running an empire than exploiting it. From this rich store of history and possibility, Robert Colls traces the constitutional, legal, racial, cultural and geographical dimensions of Englishness to connect how the meaning of England has changed and changed again in the past, with how it is changing now and will change in the future.
