Postcard photo - Bank of England, London Britain at Troynovant:
a survey among the
British Empire & Commonwealth,
history, geography, & literature
of England & all the
English-speaking peoples;
listed by Title
  

Many British authors, including standard and popular novelists in England, and even novelists of England, as well as poetry, films, or stories with more or less British content are not listed here unless the work or the review speaks especially of English-speaking culture, institutions, governance, and so on. Several British authors are covered at their own Personae indexes, some gather at the Detection index, while others may be here with a particular representative work.

  
What has kept England on its feet during the past year? In part, no doubt, some vague idea about a better future, but chiefly the atavistic emotion of patriotism, the ingrained feeling of the English-speaking peoples that they are superior to foreigners.

For the last twenty years the main object of English left-wing intellectuals has been to break this feeling down, and if they had succeeded, we might be watching the S.S. men patrolling the London streets at this moment.

Imogen:

Hath Britain all the sun that shines? Day, night,
Are they not but in Britain? I' th' world's volume
Our Britain seems as of it, but not in't;
In a great pool a swan's nest.

William Shakespeare
Cymbeline, 3.4.136-139
