THE ENGLISHMAN

概要：

It isn't enough to speak about "The English Character" or "English Humour" in general. It is also necessary to see "The Englishman" as he is at home. It is again necessary to see him not only through one's own eyes, but also through the eyes of various authors who have written about the English, notably William Shakespeare (who writes about nothing else) and G.K.Chesterton (who follows in the footsteps of Shakespeare). Thirdly, it is necessary to see him in his background as depicted by two famous English painters, John Constable and William Turner. Finally, a word has to be added about the peculiarly English game of cricket.
