The British Barbarians is a book written by Grant Allen, first published in 1895. The book is a critical analysis of the British society during the Victorian era, highlighting the flaws and shortcomings of the society. The author argues that the British people were barbaric in their behavior and attitudes towards various issues such as religion, politics, and social norms. The book is divided into several chapters, each addressing a specific aspect of the British society. The author discusses the hypocrisy of the British upper class, the oppressive nature of the British government, and the ignorance of the British people towards the rest of the world. Allen also criticizes the British education system, which he believes is outdated and fails to prepare students for the modern world. He argues that the British people need to embrace change and progress if they want to remain relevant in the global arena. The British Barbarians is a thought-provoking book that challenges the reader to question their own beliefs and attitudes towards society. It is a timeless critique of the British society and remains relevant even today.The member of Her Britannic Majesty's Civil Service would have given anything just that minute to say to him frankly, Well, if you're not an Englishman, and you're not an American, and you're not a Colonist, and you are an Alien, and yet you talk English like a native, and have always talked it, why, what in the name of goodness do you want us to take you for? But he restrained himself with difficulty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
