During the second half of the 20th century, life in Britain was
transformed by radical changes in standards of living, affecting
housing, food and transport, as well as by major shifts in social,
cultural and moral values. This study examines the diverse
developments which so altered the country and its people. Based on
extensive research and written in an accessible style, the text
examines the remarkable extent to which a marked decline of popular
support for orthodox institutions such as the monarcy, religion,
marriage and trade unions resulted in a far more flexible and
diverse society - a society in which women, the young and members
of ethnic minorities played increasingly important roles. It also
stresses the extent to which British society has been influenced by
foreign developments. Separate chapters on the impact of American
culture and European institutions, as well as modern architecture
and planning, all explore the ways in which British life has been
profoundly affected by factors which are not normally considered by
social historians. This book should be of use to undergraduates
reading modern British history, as well as students of modern
British culture and society. -- .
