In 1938: Modern Britain, Michael John Law demonstrates that our
understanding of life in Britain just before the Second World War
has been overshadowed by its dramatic political events. 1938 was
the last year of normality, and Law shows through a series of case
studies that in many ways life in that year was far more modern
than might have been thought. By considering topics as diverse as
the opening of a new type of pub, the launch of several new
magazines, the emergence of push-button radios and large screen
televisions sets, and the building of a huge office block, he
reveals a Britain, both modern and intrigued by its own modernity,
that was stopped in its tracks by war and the austerity that
followed. For some, life in Britain was as consumerist, secular,
Americanized and modern as it would become for many in the late
1950s and early 1960s. Presenting a fresh perspective on an
important year in British social history, illuminated by six
engaging case studies, this is a key study for students and
scholars of 20th-century Britain.
