In a successor to his acclaimed Nine Wartime Lives: Mass Observation and the Making of the Modern Self, James Hinton uses autobiographical writing contributed to Mass Observation since 1981 to explore the social and cultural history of late twentieth-century Britain. Prompted by thrice-yearly open-ended questionnaires, Mass Observation's volunteers wrote about their political attitudes, religious beliefs, work, childhoods, education, friendships, marriages, sex lives, mid-life crises, aging -- the whole range of human emotion, feeling, attitudes, and experience. At the core of the book are seven 'biographical essays': intimate portraits of individual lives set in the context of the shift towards the more tolerant and permissive society of the 1960s to the rise of Thatcherite neo-liberalism as the structures of Britain's post-war settlement crumbled from the later 1970s. The mass observers featured in the book, four women and three men, are drawn from across the social spectrum -- wife of a small businessman, teacher, social worker, RAF wife, mechanic, lorry driver, banker: all active and forceful characters with strong opinions and lives crowded with struggle and drama. The honesty and frankness with which they wrote about themselves takes us below the surface of public life to the efforts of 'ordinary', but exceptionally articulate and self-reflective, people to make sense of their lives in rapidly changing times."-- Public opinion Great Britain History 20th century Great Britain Social life and customs 20th century https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787136.001.0001/acprof-9780198787136 Uni Basel: Volltext https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787136.001.0001/acprof-9780198787136 Uni Basel: Volltext https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787136.001.0001/acprof-9780198787136 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 University Press Scholarship Online History Collection Oxford Scholarship Online History E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Oxford Scholarship Online IDSBB A145 A145 145VT IDSBB A145 A145 145VT IDSBB B405 B405 405VT NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Hinton James author IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787136.001.0001/acprof-9780198787136 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787136.001.0001/acprof-9780198787136 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787136.001.0001/acprof-9780198787136 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 48364823X
