Francois Bedarida's elegant and persuasive essay on the main themes
of British history since the mid-nineteenth century has been a
popular text for students of the British Empire. In this edition of
his widely-acclaimed work, Bedarida has added a substantial
analysis of recent English history from 1975 to 1990. He takes a
detached, perceptive, and quizzical view of the transformation of
British society over the last fifteen years: a time which has
witnessed a transformation of the British into a nation of
go-getting, home-owning, share-owning entrepreneurs. While
acknowledging that two-thirds of British society are better-off for
the changes, Bedarida emphasizes the costs of development. He
focuses on the British "under-class," the one-third of the
population living below the poverty line and sliding irrevocably
into squalor and oblivion. Critical, but not without hope, Bedarida
finds -- in Britain's increasingly fragmented and individualistic
society -- a collective conscience which continues to flicker.
