ANGLO SAXON ATTITUDES: THE COMPLETE SERIES - DVD

Dramatised by Andrew Davies from Angus Wilson’s remarkable post-war novel, multiple-award-winning Anglo-Saxon Attitudes features a typically rich and interwoven cast of Wilson characters.

A satire, a tragedy and a black comedy of manners, it is a deadly-accurate examination of the loves, lusts and foibles of a middle-class family bent on self-destruction.

Gerald Middleton is a wealthy and cultured professor of medieval history who feels himself both an academic and emotional failure. His personal life is in considerable disarray and his best friend, long dead in the trenches of the Great War, continues to haunt and threaten his self-esteem as an historian.
