The Casino and Society in Britain (Routledge Studies in Modern British History). By Seamus Murphy
Crime Reporters at Work
Crime news was a media staple throughout the twentieth century. What Britons read, heard and watched shaped public understanding of crime, prompted police inquiries and initiated legislation. While we know much about the content of crime news and something of its reception, we know little about its production. This article addresses this known unknown. Using a unique police investigation into press reports of black marketeering and corruption in …

The Taste of War
Lizzie Collingham’s is a global history of food during the Second World War. Aimed at the general reader, the book draws upon recent scholarship to show how food was central to the origins, experience and outcome of the conflict.

Those with acute hearing will catch faint echoes of Avner Offer’s seminal monograph The First World War: An Agrarian Interpretation (19…

Like his mentor Gallup, Durant fell short o…

Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's lover is a symbolic episode in histories of 1960s Britain, used to illustrate changes in social attitudes. However, historians have not appreciated the impact of the trial on Anglican attitudes towards contemporary society. Using correspondence in the papers of the Mirfield father and literary critic Martin Jarrett-Kerr, this article reve…
Observing the 1940s
The publication of four volumes of edited diaries, written for the social research organization Mass-Observation (M-O), in the space of 13 months is an unusual and welcome event for historians, signalling a revival of interest in the richest and least used collection of material in the M-O Archive. The 500 personal diaries are the largest collection of diaries from the 1940s Britain, easily exceeding the second biggest collection of diaries at th…
