How England Made The English by Harry Mount
A lively survey of the formative centuries of England that argues the country’s geography, institutions and successive waves of settlement helped shape a distinct English character; it traces Roman withdrawal, Anglo‑Saxon and Viking arrivals, the Norman Conquest and medieval developments to show how law, local custom, landholding, the parish and language forged social habits, governance and a resilient sense of nationhood, combining political and legal history with cultural anecdotes to explain why England produced particular institutions and identities.
