Title: The English National Character: The History of an Idea from Edmund Burke to Tony Blair
Author: Peter Mandler
Abstract: This book traces ideas about the English national character over 200 years, arguing that the idea of a 'national character' in its proper sense is tied up with the idea of democracy, based on the assumption that all people in a given nation share certain core attributes in common regardless of social class (though not gender).

Title: ‘The Taxman and the Aesthete: The Canon According to W.M. Rossetti’
Author: Peter Mandler
Abstract: This chapter shows how the British tax authorities began to take an interest in privately-held art collections, by assessing their value and eventually conceding tax concessions for 'heritage' collections.
