This book is the first in-depth study of the debates over devolution in the four nations of the UK in the period up to 1939. It explores divergent trends and attitudes towards the principle of devolution at both local and national (UK) levels, explains the limitations of devolution as a political ideal and the inherent contradictions in the debates over devolution which were unresolvable in the period under study. The book also demonstrates the enduring potency of an all-British context and of the influence and power of those who wished to defend the status quo. It investigates the role of national - and Imperial - identities in the debates over devolution, highlighting the continuing value and importance of 'Britishness' and British identity as vital factors in moulding popular opinion and support for established systems of governance. In so doing, the book offers fresh perspectives on the development of nationalisms in the 'Celtic fringe' during this period and demonstrates the problems and limitations of such identities as ways of mobilizing political opposition. -- .

This volume explores some of the major transitions, opportunities and false dawns of modern British political history. It engages with the scholarly legacy of Professor Duncan Tanner (1958-2010) whose work was focused on the political process and on politics in government. Chronologically its span runs from the first general election to be conducted under the terms of the Third Reform Act through to the 1997 referenda in favour of devolved assemblies in Scotland and Wales. This was the period in which British politicians most obviously addressed a mass, British-wide electorate, seeking national approval for policies and programmes to be enacted on a UK-wide basis. Aimed at scholars and students of modern British history this volume will also interest the general reader who wishes to get to grips with some of the latest thinking about British politics. -- .

These are his reminiscences, meeting Black Country characters like mayors, aldermen, golden wedding couples, pub landlords, criminals and even an emerging rock star. Andrew researches his own family - from his parents love of cycling and sport and his father's lifetime passion with local Black Country athletic clubs of which he was a founder member, to glass makers, when the area produced the best handmade blown glass products in the world. We also meet his aunty, an assistant matron, steelmaking, book printing, a founder member of the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War, and an army Captain in the Second; his godfather sunk in the South China sea, canal boatman, a TV and radio comedy gag (joke) writer, with gritty labourers, nailers and puddlers, going back to 1727.
