Pages are tightly bound, clean and tidy throughout, never thumbed or opened. First edition, first printing, published by Jonathan Cape. A key collection from one of Britain's most distinctive contemporary essayists and cultural commentators. Meades' work, known for its intellectual sharpness and stylistic flair, has earned a dedicated readership. First printings of his major essay collections are increasingly sought after. As a characteristically provocative and wide-ranging volume, this edition holds strong appeal for collectors of modern British non-fiction and literary journalism. In Filthy English, Jonathan Meades turns his incisive eye on the peculiarities, hypocrisies, and cultural habits of England. Blending erudition with biting wit, he explores architecture, politics, taste, and national identity in essays that are as entertaining as they are intellectually bracing. The result is a bold and often mischievous examination of Englishness from one of its most original critics.
