- The book investigates the meanings of ‘progressive’ from a range of perspectives (party politics, intellectual history, popular culture), and in relation to different historical contexts (19th Century to Brexit). It generated journal articles covering municipal politics and commercial advertising (1880s-1930s), social democracy and progressive rock (1960s and 1970s), and public attitudes towards the Coalition (2010s). The extensive underlying research (conducted from 2010-2016) drew on:
• Archives: main political parties; municipal parties; smaller parties (eg, CPGB, Mosley’s New Party); Mass Observation.
• Original survey data.
• Digital and print media: 19th Century periodicals; 20th Century newspapers; specialist publications; and local press.
