The English eccentric is under threat. In our increasingly homogenised
society, these celebrated parts of our national identity are anomalies that
may soon no longer fit. Or so it seems. On his entertaining and thought-
provoking quest to discover the most eccentric English person alive today,
Henry Hemming unearths a surprisingly large array of delightfully odd
characters.
He asks what it is to be an eccentric. Is it simply to thrive on creativity
and non-conformity, and where does this incarnation of Englishness stem from?
Hemming concludes that this tribe is, in fact, in rude health, as essential as
ever to the English national identity, only they are no longer to be found
where you'd expect them.
