Reseña del editor:

Thought of most often in the context of the Olympics or other sporting events, national anthems are a significant way for a nation and its citizens to express their identity and unity. Despite their prevalence, anthems as an expression of national self-image and culture have rarely been examineduntil now. Anthem Quality analyzes the lyrics of many anthems in order to explore their historical and contemporary context. Christopher Kelen s research reveals how many of the world s most famous and best-known national anthems, including The Marseillaise, The Star-Spangled Banner, and God Save the Queen deal with such topics as authority, religion, and political devotion.
