" "Internally the book is clean and neat and tight. The first illustration is of a red rose, and the last illustration is a verso view of a young lady undoing her bra in front of a room full of men. With this illustrated informal study, Mr Priestley has added to his fame as novelist, essayist, and playwright a new distinction as social historian. In this book he does not confine himself to any particular period but takes a long critical look at the English temperament as it has developed since the Middle Ages. The author also provides us with a perceptive and entertaining study of Englishness in the arts and in humour and hobbies, and the book ends with a series of Port sketches of characters of an essentially English individuality, and a brief consideration of the future of the English.
