About this title

Synopsis:

In this completely revised and updated edition of international bestseller WATCHING THE ENGLISH, anthropologist Kate Fox takes a revealing look at the quirks, habits and foibles of the English people.

Now with new survey data to add weight to her original fieldwork findings, and more extensive field-research and experiments to back up earlier observations, Kate Fox has deciphered yet more enigmatic behaviour codes, adding new rules, new subcultures, new chapters and over 100 updates. If you're English, this new edition of Kate Fox's acclaimed international bestseller will make you stand back and re-examine everything you take for granted - and if you aren't English you'll finally understand all our peculiar little ways.

WATCHING THE ENGLISH has sold more than half a million copies and has been translated into many languages. Not only a worldwide bestseller, but also a set text for university anthropology courses, WATCHING THE ENGLISH has been widely praised as a revealing and entertaining dissection of the English national character.

About the Author:

Kate Fox, an anthropologist, is currently an Associate Member of the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford. After an erratic education at a random sample of schools in England, the USA, France and Ireland, she studied anthropology and philosophy at Cambridge. She was for many years co-director of an independent social research centre in Oxford. Kate is married to the neurosurgeon and bestselling author Henry Marsh.
