Downton Abbey has brought out the Anglophile in American fans of the hit TV series. But Anglophilia has a long history in America. Why are some native-born residents of our Shining City Upon a Hill, where All Men Are Created Equal, seduced by the fluting tones of manor-born privilege? At last, Anglophilia explained - in American, thank you.

Reseñas editoriales

Why are many supposedly egalitarian Americans fascinated by the aristocratic privilege of Britain as displayed by Downton Abbey and the royal family? In this illuminating essay, cultural critic Mark Dery explores the attractions that Britain's literature, music, and style present for Americans. From a childhood fascination with the Wonder Books to an adolescent fixation on Jethro Tull and adulthood admiration for Christopher Hitchens, Dery’s take is highly personal, yet also displays larger societal insight. By turns savage and sympathetic, his prose is also wryly funny. Performer Mark Ashby does a good job capturing Dery's tone, and alternating between the British and American accents of the text.

A nutless monkey could do it. The book description promised “savage & sympathetic” as well as “wryly funny.” I only heard savage & harshly critical. Paired with the performer’s nasal voice, it was neither interesting nor enjoyable. 😕 Kudos to the performer’s choice of obnoxious & strident intonation, which fit the prose.

Criticizing is Easy.

This is a bigoted, liberalist piece of garbage. I would not recommend this title to anyone at anyitme, anywhere. This is just a published manifesto of a sick, twisted and vile mind! DO NOT BOTHER!

Even at the price of FREE, not worth the time.

After 10 minutes I couldn't understand what the hell was this thing about and deleted it.

Listened for 10 minutes

What the heck? This was a waste! I have no idea what the point of the essay was at all. What? I feel a bit upset I wasted 48 minutes of my time on this. Nothing was explained at all. Waste! Thank God I didn't pay for it.

What was the point?

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I guess people who think Anglophiles are snobbish, social climbing jerks might enjoy this book. Thankfully it was only 48 minutes long so I listened to the end. Certainly not what I expected.

Any additional comments?

If you love being an Anglophile then you can give this title a miss.

Qualifies as my most irritating Audible purchase
