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. 606 $aCivilization$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862898 606 $aIntellectual life$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00975769 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life 615 7$aCivilization. 615 7$aIntellectual life. 615 7$aPolitics and government. 676 $a941 702 $aLouis$b William Roger 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828726903321 996 $aEffervescent adventures with Britannia$94115578 997 $aUNINA
