description: In this poignant and personal tribute Roger Scruton gives an account of England which is both an illuminating analysis of its institutions and culture, and a celebration of its virtues.  Covering all aspects of the English inheritance, and informed by a unique philosophical vision, An Elegy shows that there is such a country as England, that it has a distinct personality and endows its residents with a distinct moral ideal.
