Tabloid Century
The term ‘tabloid’ seems first to have been transferred from pharmaceuticals to newspapers in 1901. It denotes a distinctive combination of appearance and content that lent a newspaper convenience, time-saving and impact. A Mirror editor described his paper’s objective in 1949: ‘the vivid and dramatic presentation of events so as to give them a forceful impact ... big headlines, vigorous writing, simplification into familiar everyday language and…
Heaven on Earth
G.M. Young saw the mind of Victorian England as ‘employing the energy imparted by evangelical conviction to rid itself of the restraints which evangelicalism had laid on the senses and the intellect; on amusement, enjoyment, art; on curiosity, on criticism, on science’. In approaching the history of evangelicalism, Martin Spence is self-consciously revisionist, and his important, learned, wide-ranging, reflective book quietly and courageously sho…
Politics of Security
‘Through its comparative nature and its awareness for transnational relations and mutual observations’, writes Holger Nehring, this book ‘... seeks to bring together the histories of two countries under one conceptual rubric’. The outcome should be assessed against the sheer difficulty of the task. ‘Comparative’ and ‘world’ history, now fashionable, are, or should be, linguistically demanding. They also require empathy in two dimensions: historic…
The Politics of Expertise. How NGOs Shaped Modern Britain
Glen O'Hara. Governing Post-War Britain
Glen O'Hara's synoptic title is somewhat misleading for a book with twelve rather specific chapters on disparate topics (of which four have already been published in academic journals). The chapters are united, however, by a double paradox: by the mounting public distrust of British governments (whether Labour or Conservative) during these years of growing affluence, and by “the unintended consequences of purposive government action” (p. 2). Most…
Seeking a Role
This book begins in 1951 with much of the empire intact and Britain enjoying high prestige in Europe. The United Kingdom could still then claim to be a great power whose welfare state exemplified compromise between Soviet planning and the USA's free market. When the volume ends in 1970, no such claims carried conviction. The empire had gone, central planning was in trouble, and even the British political system had become controversial. In an unu…
Intellect and Culture
This chapter first discusses the full flowering of the state schools structure after the austerities and disruption of the war, together with the persistence of the independent sector. It then considers the expansion of universities into a nationwide ‘system’. Increasingly dominated by the ideas and values of natural science, they were nonetheless of great cultural significance locally and nationally. The chapter discusses prosperity in literatur…
Finding a Role
Seven analytic chapters in this book pursue the massive changes wrought in Britain between 1970 and 1990. They look in detail at the changes in international relations, landscape and townscape, social framework, family and welfare structures, economic policies and realities and government which had occurred by 1990
British Biography, Large and Small
British biography has for the past century been a resilient art form, yet there are surprisingly few British sustained studies of biographical method: although biographies are widely read ‘they are for the most part unstudied, unexamined. The spirit which prevails in British biography is commonsensical, empirical and humane’. Progress on biographical theory can be made only after identifying biographical sub‐categories. These need to be multi‐lay…
Civil Histories
Sir Keith Thomas is one of the most innovative and influential of English historians, and a scholar of unusual range. These essays, presented to him on his retirement as President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, concentrate on one of the broad themes illuminated by his work—changing notions of civility in the past. From the sixteenth century onwards, civility was a term applied to modes of behaviour as well as to cultural and civic attributes.…
The Rise, Fall and Rise of Political Consensus in Britain since 1940
A distinction is drawn between pursuing consensus by direct and indirect routes. Whereas historians of consensus in Britain since 1940 have given ample attention to the direct route, events since 1979 highlight the importance of the indirect route, which instead of accepting existing opinion sets about changing it in order to shift consensus on to a new and more secure basis. The first section summarizes the consensus historians' view of the peri…

This is the first major study of the personalities, achievements, and tactics of British feminist leaders between the wars. It brings out the breadth and scale of their activities, and explains their contribution towards broadening women's political, occupational, and family roles at home and abroad. Dr Harrison clarifies the organizational context and ancestry of inter-war feminism through creating a portrait gallery of sixteen prominent but ver…

British Policy in the Malay Peninsula, 1880-1910
British policy in the Malay Peninsula reflected two aspects of late nineteenth century imperialism. There was firstly, the extension of control over territories suited to economic development and in which Britain had strategic interests; and secondly, the welding of dependencies into larger units and the tightening of their bonds with Britain. Thus during the period 1880-1909, the Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Johore, Kelantan, Trengganu, Kedah and Per…

Wandering in his mind during his last illness in 1869, Bertrand Russell's maternal grandfather ‘heard a loud noise in the street and thought it was the revolution breaking out’.

Often, by implication, they exaggerate the stupidity and selfishness of the reactionaries while overestimating the enlightenment of the reformers and understressing t…
Drink and Sobriety in England 1815–1872
Social historians studying nineteenth-century England tend to concentrate on the work-situation, and therefore on the conflicting interests of employer and employee. Dr John Vincent, however, has recently directed attention to the popular basis of nineteenth-century Liberalism; this brings into the forefront quite different social alignments – especially when conflicts over religion and recreation are investigated. Popular radicalism “was the pro…

V. Cardinal Manning as Temperance Reformer
Cardinal Manning in old age wanted his successor to follow his lead into the temperance movement: ‘I pray God that my successor will humbly and with his whole heart go into the midst of the people as I have tried to do’, he wrote in 1890, ‘and will give to the League of the Cross a warm and encouraging countenance.’ He also wanted his successor to join the prohibitionist United Kingdom Alliance as ‘the only real power outside of Parliament to hol…

In his famous study of attitudes to the state in nineteenth-century England, Dicey described the period 1825–70 as “the period of Benthamism or Individualism”. Evangelicalism and Benthamism, he argued later, “represented the development in widely different spheres of the same fundamental principle, namely, the principle of individualism”. Only later did laissez faire fall into eclipse: “somewhere between 1868 and 1900 ... changes took place which…
