Or Anglomania In Europe

A witty combination of history and biography which looks at how Europeans have been fascinated by all that it means to be English. Karl Marx though the English were too stupid to start a revolution; Goethe worshipped Shakespeare; Baron de Coubertin's idea of the modern Olympic Games was inspired by 'Tom Brown's Schooldays'; Theodor Herzl's dream of the Jewish state was fuelled by his love of British aristocracy; and the German Kaiser was convinced that Britain was run by Jews.
