Asa Briggs has been a prominent figure in post-war cultural life -
as a pioneering historian, a far-sighted educational reformer, and
a sensitive chronicler of the way in which broadcasting and
communication more generally have shaped modern society. He has
also been a devoted servant of the public good, involved in many
inquiries, boards and trusts. Yet few accounts of public life in
Britain since the Second World War include a discussion or
appreciation of his influential role. This collection of essays
provides the first critical assessment of Asa Briggs' career, using
fresh research and new perspectives to analyse his contribution and
impact on scholarship, the expansion of higher education at home
and overseas, and his support and leadership for the arts and media
more generally. The online bibliography of Asa Briggs' publications
which accompanies the book is available on the The Institute of
Historical Research website here.
