The subjects covered include a new analysis of Jack the Ripper by Richard Davenport-Hines, a new appraisal of Harold Nicholson and Royal Biography by Jane Ridley and a new account of Evelyn Waugh in North America by Martin Stannard. In literature, Patrick French writes on V.S. Naipul; in history Andrew Lownie offers new perspectives on Guy Burgess and in politics Kenneth O. Morgan considers what will become of Britain after Brexit. Collectively, the chapters combine a rich mix of original ideas, historical and literary allusion, personality and anecdote, to provide an intellectual adventure into the mainsprings of modern British and international society.Civilizationfast(OCoLC)fst00862898Intellectual lifefast(OCoLC)fst00975769Politics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst01919741Great BritainHistoryGreat BritainIntellectual lifeCivilization.Intellectual life.Politics and government.941Louis William RogerMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828726903321Effervescent adventures with Britannia4115578UNINA
