«English Eccentrics and Their Bizarre Behaviour» is David Long's historical essay, published by Remember When in hardcover (176 pages, in English).
David Long explores the fascination that English eccentrics arouse and the reasons why England has produced so many peculiar characters. He reviews their legacy of surprising buildings —pavilions, architectural follies and replicas of palaces—, profiles the most notable ones, and proposes a tour of places where this heritage still lingers, such as the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, Stourhead or Castle Howard.
Published in 2009, it is a non-fiction book about English history and cultural oddities.
For fans of British social history, unusual biographies and picturesque architecture.
