A History of Modern Britain

Accompanies the major BBC TV series. A History of Modern Britain confronts head-on the victory of shopping over politics. It tells the story of how the great political visions and rival idealisms, of a new Jerusalem or a second Elizabethan age came to be defeated by a culture of consumerism, celebrity and self-gratification. Throughout, Britain is a country on the edge first of invasion, then of bankruptcy, then on the front line of the Cold War and later in the forefront of the great opening up of capital and migration now reshaping the world. This history follows all the political and economic stories, but deals too with comedy, cars, anarchists, oil-men and punks and Margaret Thatcher's wonderful good luck.

Harriet Rose, like any other teenager, is na'ive, overconfident and has always felt she has something important to say. However, unlike most of her peers, her hero is Marcus Aurelius, in imitation of whom she has been composing philosophical reflections on life for some time. When Harriet's father dies, the urge to write these meditations is greater than ever. Then, on her fourteenth birthday, she receives a unique gift. Her doting mother and grandmother have had her by-now-substantial collection of meditations published and they vow to get the book into the hands of a wide readership. Once this formidable team gets into gear, there's no holding back, and Harriet is hurled into a lifestyle that not even she, in all her infinite wisdom, could have been prepared for.
