Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Soul of Dickens We shall all agree, I think, that the most startling and dramatic change which has followed on the heels of the great War has been the wonderful transformation of Continental opinion in regard to the Englishman. Someone recently remarked that the War has discovered our fellow-countrymen and has revealed them not only to themselves but to the world. Certain it is that the present nations of the earth will never take again quite the same view of John Bull as that in which their fathers for so long rejoiced: the view that he was an obese, irascible, though withal a good-natured old gentleman, not perhaps too proud but certainly too self-indulgent to fight, whose occasional boastfulness and truculence did not really matter. Even were we to embark seriously upon a great campaign, our detractors asserted, we should not count. Our lack of preparation, our carelessness in detail, our disregard for efficiency - all these things would nullify any of those old qualities that once made us formidable in the eyes of men.
