- This 90,000-word monograph is based on six years research. It explores a vast body of archival material contained within the Penguin Books archives at the University of Bristol. By drawing on research on hundreds of paperback books published between the 1930s and 1980s, it aims to tell a story about the ideas and assumptions that shaped political life in post-war Britain. The study cuts across a number of different historiographical traditions and required the author to familiarise themselves with an extensive range of scholarship.
