Tracking the intermingled intellectual and moral response of elites
and masses to the loss of empire in the years following the end of
the Second World War, this book explores how the elite in Britain
sought to fashion a new identity for itself, how this was
promulgated amongst the wider population and how ordinary people
responded. These responses can be uncovered in elite designs
including policies, plans, declarations; high art such as novels,
theatre, fine arts and art-house films as well as through the
medium of popular culture like radio, film, television, newspapers
and magazines. These layers of meanings can be found in the slow
development of the public sphere, as events produced reactions that
laid down ideas that run into the present. The collective upshot
has been the creation of a shifting, contested and finally
unsustainable idea of what it is to be 'British'.
