In this, the first of two self-standing volumes
bringing The New Oxford History of England
up to the present, Brian Harrison begins in 1951
with much of the empire intact and with Britain
enjoying high prestige in Europe. The United
Kingdom could still then claim to be a great
power, whose welfare state exemplified
compromise between Soviet planning and the
USA s free market. When the volume ends in
1970,
no such claims carried conviction. The
empire had gone, central planning was in
trouble, and even the British political system
had become controversial.
In an unusually wide-ranging, yet impres¬
sively detailed volume, Harrison approaches the
period from unfamiliar directions. He explains
how British politicians in the
1950s
and
1960s
responded to this transition by pursuing succes¬
sive roles for Britain: worldwide as champion
of freedom, and in Europe as exemplar of
parliamentary government, the multi-racial
society, and economic planning. His main
focus, though, rests not on the politicians but
on the decisions the British people made largely
for themselves: on their environment, social
structure and attitudes, race relations, family
patterns, economic framework, and cultural
opportunities. By
1970
the consumer society had
supplanted postwar austerity, the socialist vision
was fading, and the sixties (the theme of his
penultimate chapter) had introduced new and
even exotic themes and values. Having lost an
empire, Britain was still resourcefully seeking
a role: it had yet to find it.
Brian Harrison is Emeritus Professor of
Modern British History at the University
of Oxford. He has published on many aspects
of British history from the 1790s to the present.
His books include
Drink
and the Victorians
(1971, second edition
1994)
and The Transform¬
ation of British Politics
1860-11)95 (1996).
From
2000-2004
he edited the Oxford Dictionary
of National Biography.
