C hristopher H illiard . The Littlehampton Libels
If the 1920s and 1930s were the Golden Age of crime fiction, we seem now to be in a Golden Age of crime histories about 1920s and 1930s Britain. In recent years, John Carter Wood, Lucy Bland, Matt Houlbrook, and Angus McLaren have all written detailed studies of sensational court cases that intrigued the reading public of interwar Britain. Christopher Hilliard joins this company with a story that has many of the elements of an Agatha Christie or …
Prince of Tricksters
Most historians, in the course of their research, will have had their curiosity piqued by a colourful, intriguing, or puzzling individual they have come across. Are they worth pursuing further? Did they leave an archival trail? Would they provide significant insights into the period being studied? Matt Houlbrook, by his own admission, fell pretty hard for such a character: Netley Lucas, born on a yacht in 1903, dead 37 years later after a fire at…
The Telegraph Historical Archive, 1855–2000
If the future for newspapers is digital, so too is the past. Gale’s digitisation of the archives of the Daily Telegraph, encompassing one million pages from the first issue in June 1855 to December 2000, turns yet another major newspaper into a source of historical data. Few significant national and local newspapers—the Sun and the News of the World are the obvious exceptions—have resisted the digital turn, and scholars have flocked to the result…
The Times Digital Archive, 1785–2006 (Gale Cengage)
The Times, a self-proclaimed ‘paper of record’, has always had one eye on posterity, and it has worked hard to establish itself as a resource for scholars. It is the newspaper most commonly held in libraries around the country, and the production of a detailed index has for many years enabled historians to mine its content with greater precision than that of its rivals. It was quick into the digital game too: it was the first digital newspaper ar…
‘The monster’? The British popular press and nuclear culture, 1945–early 1960s
British popular newspapers were fascinated by the terrible power of the nuclear bomb, and they devoted countless articles, editorials and cartoons to it. In so doing, they played a significant role in shaping the nuclear culture of the post-war period. Yet scholars have given little sustained attention to this rich seam of material. This article makes a contribution to remedying this major gap by offering an overview of the coverage of nuclear we…

Family Newspapers?
'Family Newspapers?' provides a detailed historical study of modern popular press coverage of sex and private life, from the start of the mass newspaper reading boom in 1918 to the triumph of the Sun's sexualised journalism in 1978, when circulation overtook that of its rival, the Daily Mirror.
The British Popular Press and Venereal Disease During the Second World War
This article examines the role of the British popular press in the campaign against venereal diseases during the Second World War. Concern about the rapidly rising incidence of syphilis and gonorrhoea prompted the Ministry of Health to ask the press to carry a series of informative advertisements about VD, but the Newspaper Proprietors' Association refused to publish them until they had been made less explicit. A major controversy erupted in Flee…
Gender, Modernity, and the Popular Press in Inter-War Britain
Journalists often claim that they write the first draft of history, but few historians examine the press in detail when preparing later drafts. This book demonstrates the value of popular newspapers as a historical source by using them to explore the attitudes and identites of inter-war Britain, and in particular the reshaping of femininity and masculinity. It provides a fresh insight into a period of great significance in the making of twentieth…
