Jeremy Paxman was born in Yorkshire and educated at Cambridge. He is an award-winning journalist who spent ten years reporting from overseas, notably for Panorama. He is the author of five books including The English. He is the presenter of Newsnight and University Challenge and has presented BBC documentaries on various subjects including Victorian art and Wilfred Owen.
He writes with wit and penetration, and every page of Empire can be
read with relaxed pleasure
*Spectator*
Paxman is witty, incisive, acerbic and opinionated . . . In short,
he carries the whole thing off with panache bordering on
effrontery
*Sunday Times*
A very engaging account...with a good sprinkling of jokes, funny
nicknames and sexual references. Paxman makes some very sharp
points and writes well
*Guardian*
