Epton, Nina. Love and the English. First American Edition. 1961. Book and dust jacket are both in very good plus condition—this is an exceptionally attractive copy; there is, however, a tiny indentation to the page edges.Â
The author of Love and the French crossed the Channel for her next book, and friends on the Continent teased her that this follow-up subject, the less demonstrative British, merited at most a magazine article on the topic of love. The book considers love and courtship in Great Britain from William the Conqueror to Winston Churchill. And, contrary to the expectations of the French, there is ample material, with sections on Shakespeare, Beau Brummell, King Edward VII, Havelock Ellis, Elinor Glyn, et al.
