Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Holy Orders: The Tragedy of a Quiet Life In presenting to Americans this story of a phase of English rural life, I feel that perhaps a few words of introduction and explanation may not be amiss. We have now in Great Britain a number of resident and ´naturalized´ Americans, who to a certain extent have fallen easily into English ways, but I trust I shall not be mistaken when I say that very few of them have yet attained to a sympathetic comprehension of what I may call the ´inner mind´ of the great bulk of the English people. Especially do they seem to remain in almost willful ignorance of the rural populations, - the real England of country towns and villages. London is no more real England than Paris is real France, - both are cosmopolitan centers, representing not one nation but many. Really to understand the British race, it is necessary to live out of London, in which Jews and foreigners are more in evidence than the native born inhabitant, for if we were to judge by the habits and modes of London society only, we should perhaps have to come to the conclusion that everything was to be bought for sufficient money, even our national honor. There are a good many Americans who are of this opinion, and it is scarcely to be wondered at, considering the open rush on American millionaires, male and female, made by certain of our aristocracy whose names in the long long ago were famous for being ´sans peur et sans reproche.´ But this section of our ´upper´ classes does not represent the actual mind of the British.
