An Affluent Society?: Britain's Post-War 'Golden Age' Revisited
ISBN: 9780754635284 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. During an election speech in 1957 the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, famously remarked that 'most of our people have never had it so good'. Although taken out of context, this phrase soon came to epitomize the sense of increased affluence and social progress that was prevalent in Britain during the 1950s and 1960s. Yet, despite the recognition that Britain had moved away from an era of rationing and scarcity, to a new age of choice and plenty, there was simultaneously a parallel feeling that the nation was in decline and being economically outstripped by its international competitors....

Consumerism and the Co-Operative Movement in Modern British History: Taking Stock
ISBN: 9780719076848 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite the abundance and quality of recent historical writing on consumerism, it cannot be said that the modern Co-operative movement (Co-op) has been well served. It has also been by-passed in studies that locate Britons' identity in their consumption. The reasons for this can be found in the widely perceived decline of the Co-op since the 1950s, but also in various historiographical agendas that have resulted in its relative invisibility in modern British history. This book, by demonstrating the variety of broader issues that can be addressed through the Co-op and the vibrancy of new...

The Boy in the Bush
ISBN: 9780521007146 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At D.H. Lawrence's suggestion, a nurse and author, Mollie Skinner wrote about a young Englishman's reactions to late nineteenth-century Western Australia; then Lawrence completely rewrote it. This is the first critical edition of that novel, The Boy in the Bush. The reading text eliminates publishers' censorship and the miscopyings of typists and typesetters. The compositional development and the variants of the typescripts and first editions are given in the textual apparatus. Explanatory notes distinguish local and historical material. Appendices include maps, an outline history of the...

Reassessing 1970s Britain
ISBN: 9780719099793 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines a period which was the fulcrum around which postwar British history moved. In popular discourse the 1970s is commonly characterized as a dismal decade of economic and political failure from which the country was apparently rescued by Thatcherism. The editors of this volume argue that this is both simplistic and a barrier to understanding a period of fundamental importance in the trajectory of postwar British history. Most notably, it was a decade of extraordinary ferment in ideas. Out of the battles waged around these ideas emerged the Britain of the late-twentieth century....

Lawrence: Sons and Lovers
ISBN: 9780521369244 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first critical study of Sons and Lovers to engage with the new Cambridge edition, which prints for the first time the whole text that Lawrence wrote, restoring the sustantial cuts made by the first editor. Michael Black gives special attention to the genesis of the book--the writing and editing processes, where Jessie Chambers and then Edward Garnett made decisive interventions. He analyzes Sons and Lovers in detail, relates it to Lawrence's other works, and traces the history of its reception. Historical context and a guide to further reading are also provided.

D. H. Lawrence: Late Essays and Articles
ISBN: 9780521584319 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. D.H. Lawrence often wrote for newspapers in his last years not only because he needed the money, but because he enjoyed producing short articles at the prompting of editors. He also wrote substantial essays such as the contentious introduction to his own volume of Paintings and the highly controversial Pornography and Obscenity. Written between 1926 and Lawrence's death in 1930, all thirty-nine articles are collected and edited in this volume, including two previously unpublished autobiographical pieces.
