This collection of essays highlights the variety of 1970s culture,
and shows how it responded to the transformations that were taking
place in that most elusive of decades. The 1970s was a period of
extraordinary change on the social, sexual and political fronts.
Moreover, the culture of the period was revolutionary in a number
of ways; it was sometimes florid, innovatory, risk-taking and
occasionally awkward and inconsistent. The essays collected here
reflect this diversity and analyse many cultural forms of the
1970s. The book includes articles on literature, politics, drama,
architecture, film, television, youth cultures, interior design,
journalism, and contercultural "happenings". Its coverage ranges
across phenomena as diverse as the Wombles and Woman's Own. The
volume offers an interdisciplinary account of a fascinating period
in British cultural history.This book makes an important
intervention in the field of 1970s history. It is edited and
introduced by Laurel Forster and Sue Harper, both experienced
writers, and the book comprises work by both established and
emerging scholars. Overall it makes an exciting interpretation of a
momentous and colourful period in recent culture.
