So English, You Know!" by George du Maurier. Scanned image and text by George P. Landow [This image may be used without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose.]
Commentary: This is one of the first social commentaries of which I know that is directed at American influence upon English popular culture. Since Du Maurier tends to mock all sides, it's difficult to know if the American influence or the English adoption of it without recalling its source is the main target.
