The Enchanted Glass: Britain and its Monarchy

3.5/5 ( ratings)

In this acclaimed meditation on the British state, its identity and culture, Tom Nairn sees the monarchy both as its apex and its essence, the symbol of a national backwardness. This powerful, analytical, and bitterly funny book lays bare Britain’s peculiar, pseudo-modern, national identity, one that remains fixated on the Crown and its constitutional framework, the “parliamentary sovereignty” of Westminster.
