A State of Play: British Politics on Screen, Stage and Page, from Anthony Trollope to the Thick of It
ISBN: 9781849669788 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A State of Play explores how the British have imagined their politics, from the parliament worship of Anthony Trollope to the cynicism of The Thick of It. In an account that mixes historical with political analysis, Steven Fielding argues that fictional depictions of politics have played an important but insidious part in shaping how the British think about their democracy and have helped ventilate their many frustrations with Westminster. He shows that dramas and fictions have also performed a significant role in the battle of ideas, in a way undreamt of by those who draft...

Executioner's Bible
ISBN: 9781844546480 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It has been just over 40 years since a gallows was last used in Great Britain, and the secrets behind the men who pulled the lever and dropped the condemned to their deaths are still shrouded in mystery. This account tells the story of the working-class men who carried out this profession until its abolition in the late 1960s. The hangman's rope was part of an exact science, and in their day, the men who undertook the job assumed the profiles of infamous celebrities, their reputations often rivaling the notorious criminals they were charged with dispatching. From the bungling hangmen sacked...

The Labour Party: Continuity and Change in the Making of 'New' Labour
ISBN: 9780333973936 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Blair government is much less novel and distinctive than has been assumed by most commentators who have, Steven Fielding argues, taken too much of its rhetoric at face value. Setting recent developments in a broader historical context, this major new text on the British Labour Party provides a balanced account of its present state and how it got there. The Labour Party is forever changing - though generally within long-established parameters. 'New' Labour is but the latest example of this process.

ISBN: 9780719080609 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book, newly available in paperback, is the first in the new series The Labour governments, 1964-70 and concentrates on Britain's domestic policy during Harold Wilson's tenure as Prime Minister. The book deals, in particular, with how the Labour government and Labour party as a whole tried to come to terms with the 1960s 'cultural revolution'. It is grounded in original research, takes unique account of responses from Labour's grass roots and from Wilson's ministerial colleagues, and constructs a 'total history' of the party at this critical moment in history. Steven Fielding situates...

The Churchill Myths
ISBN: 9780198851967 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is not a book about Winston Churchill. It is not principally about his politics, nor his rhetorical imagination, nor even about the man himself. Instead, it addresses the varied afterlives of the man and the persistent, deeply located compulsion to bring him back from the dead, capturing and explaining the significance of the various Churchill myths to Britain's history and current politics. The authors look at Churchill's portrayal in social memory. They demonstrate the ways in which politicians have often used the idea of Churchill as a means of self-validation - using him to show...
