20世纪下半叶，英国的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化，生活水平发生了根本性的变化，影响到住房、食品和交通，以及社会、文化和道德价值观的重大转变。这项研究探讨了改变这个国家及其人民的各种发展。本书以广泛的研究为基础，以通俗易懂的方式撰写，探讨了民众对君主制、宗教、婚姻和工会等正统制度的支持率显着下降，在多大程度上导致了一个更加灵活和多样化的社会——在这个社会中，妇女、年轻人和少数民族成员发挥着越来越重要的作用。它还强调了英国社会受外国发展影响的程度。关于美国文化和欧洲制度以及现代建筑和规划的影响的单独章节都探讨了英国生活如何受到社会历史学家通常不考虑的因素的深刻影响。本书对于阅读现代英国历史的本科生以及研究现代英国文化和社会的学生都有用。
During the second half of the 20th century, life in Britain was transformed by radical changes in standards of living, affecting housing, food and transport, as well as by major shifts in social, cultural and moral values. This study examines the diverse developments which so altered the country and its people. Based on extensive research and written in an accessible style, the text examines the remarkable extent to which a marked decline of popular support for orthodox institutions such as the monarcy, religion, marriage and trade unions resulted in a far more flexible and diverse society - a society in which women, the young and members of ethnic minorities played increasingly important roles. It also stresses the extent to which British society has been influenced by foreign developments. Separate chapters on the impact of American culture and European institutions, as well as modern architecture and planning, all explore the ways in which British life has been profoundly affected by factors which are not normally considered by social historians. This book should be of use to undergraduates reading modern British history, as well as students of modern British culture and society.
