From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in history, society and the changing ideas that shape everyday life. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by Paul Ferris, Sex and the British: A Twentieth-Century History examines how attitudes towards sexuality, relationships, morality and personal freedom developed across modern Britain.

Drawing on cultural events, public scandals, politics and changing social expectations, the book explores the tension between outward respectability and private reality while revealing how social attitudes shifted across successive generations.

An insightful choice for readers interested in British social history, cultural change and the everyday realities of twentieth-century life.
