Anthem Quality is a book about the lyrics of national anthems. In this theoretical survey, Christopher Kelen deals with the general meaning of an inter-national social phenomenon - the words we sing together with our compatriots when we assert ourselves to be national subjects. 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 examined - until now. Anthem Quality analyses 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.
