Books about English/British culture

[badass_tiger]

I'm reading The Adventure of English by Melvyn Bragg and I'd love books that are more in-depth about the history of England from the POV of the development of language. I'd really love to understand pre-Normans English more. Or books that get more in-depth about extremely localised dialects in England, since English accents are cool, particularly the Northern ones.

About British culture, I love the fond-mocking type stuff like George Mikes' How To Be a Brit, or even novels with a particular emphasis on the British culture, perhaps? I do love Wodehouse, and even the stuff in Murder Most Unladylike even though it's not written by a Brit.

Two books on the English people:

Watching the English, by Kate Fox. An anthropologist studies her compatriots.

The English, by Jeremy Paxman. The BBC's superheavyweight interviewer give his take on the nation.

I don't agree with everything in either book, but they certainly have their points of view!
