England 1945-2000: A Collection of Essays

This collection of essays, assembled as the closing volume of a multi-author History of England, surveys British life from the end of the Second World War to the turn of the millennium. Contributors treat politics, the welfare state, decolonisation, immigration, class, culture, religion, the economy, and the constitution, rather than offering a single narrative. Typical subjects include the postwar settlement, later Conservative and Labour governments, and shifts in everyday life. The book is a symposium on a half-century, not a monograph by one historian. Each essay takes a theme or a slice of the period and works it through.
