        The Labour governments 1964–1970 volume 3

        Economic policy

        by Jim Tomlinson

        Available in paperback for the first time, this book is the third in the three volume set The Labour governments 1964-1970 and concentrates on Britain's economic policy under the Labour governments in the 1960s. It assesses the origins, development and outcomes of the attempts made by the 1964-1970 Labourgovernments under Harold Wilson to modernise the British economy. This is the first comprehensive and archivally-based work to offer a detailed study of this modernisation project. The book places the project in the context of Labour's economic ideas as they had developed since the 1940s as well as the economic legacy they inherited from the previous thirteen years of Conservative rule. After outlining this context and providing a summary narrative of economic policy over this period, the international aspect of Labour's approach to the economy is analysed. The core of the book then goes on to look in detail at the policies directly concerned with modernisation. Following the agenda set by the national plan of 1965, policies on planning, investment and the firm, technical change, the labour market and the nationalised industries are all analysed. In addition, the productivity campaign of the late 1960s is shown to have encapsulated many of the underlying ideas but also many of the problems of Labour's approach to economic policy. The final section of the book asks how the pursuit of modernisation affected Labour's pursuit of "social justice", before offering an overall assessment of Labour's period of office. The book will be of special interest to contemporary historians, economic historians and those interested in the history of the Labour party. Together with the other books in the series, on domestic policy and international policy, it provides a complete picture of the development of Britain under the premiership of Harold Wilson. ;

        Unter Menschen

        Roman

        by Bettina Balàka

        Berti heißt auch Fekete, Robert Pattinson, Ricky, Zorro und Bagheera. Er ist das Ergebnis der Liaison eines Jack-Russell-Terriers mit einem Straßenköter. Der übermütige Welpe ruiniert die Geschäfte eines ungarischen Hundehändlers, bricht einer Zwölfjährigen das Herz, weckt die Lebensgeister eines neurotischen Physikers und landet auf der Müllhalde eines Haustiermessies. Überall, wo er hinkommt, hinterlässt er seine Spuren in den Herzen und in den Leben seiner Menschen, die er als kleiner Schatten ihres Glücks und Unglücks begleitet. Bettina Balàka erzählt in ihrem Roman nicht nur die Geschichte eines Hundelebens: Unter Menschen ist zugleich ein Reigen zwischenmenschlicher Tragödien und Komödien – grandios komponiert, ironisch und unterhaltsam, voll überraschendem Witz und geistreicher Erkenntnis.

        Spaß muss sein

        Die Schlagerwelt der Siebziger. Die Jahre 1969-79 aus West-Berliner Sicht | Die erste umfassende Oral History des deutschen Schlagers

        by Rudi Esch

        Wer in den siebziger Jahren an den Samstagabenden frisch gebadet und im Frotteebademantel auf der Couch der Eltern saß, wird sich an die Hitparade erinnern. Hier wurde ritualhaft und verlässlich deutsches Kulturgut in Form von dreiminütigen Schlagern verabreicht. Föngewellte Heroen in Schlaghosen hauchten Schmachtfetzen in orangefarbene Kunststoff-Mikrofone, und offensiv gutgelaunte Heldinnen eroberten mit lockerem Hüftschwung die Partykeller. Jenes schillernde, wunderbar geschmacksverirrte Jahrzehnt wird in Spaß muss sein wieder lebendig. Rudi Esch hat sich auf die Spur dieses Musikphänomens begeben und mit allen wichtigen Protagonisten der Schlagerszene der Siebziger gesprochen: mit Christian Anders und Michael Holm, mit Graham Bonney und Ricky Shayne, mit Cindy Berger und Liz Mitchell, mit Frank Farian und Jack White und vielen, vielen anderen, die uns diese unbeschwerte Zeit beschert haben. Und ganz nebenbei wird in seiner ebenso unterhaltsamen wie überraschenden Oral History eine ganz andere Kultur- und Alltags-Geschichte der Bundesrepublik und der Mauerstadt West-Berlin sichtbar. Hossa!

        Three seventeenth-century plays on women and performance

        by Paul Edmondson, Hero Chalmers, Julie Sanders, Sophie Tomlinson, Martin White

        This is a ground-breaking edition of three seventeenth-century plays that all engage in diverse and exciting ways with questions of gender and performance. The collection, edited by three pioneering scholars of elite female culture and early modern drama, makes the texts of three much-discussed plays - John Fletcher's The Wild-Goose Chase, James Shirley's The Bird in a Cage and Margaret Cavendish's The Convent of Pleasure - available together in a full scholarly edition for the first time. The Wild Goose Chase (1621) and The Bird in a Cage (1633) were both performed in the commercial London theatres in the Jacobean and Caroline periods respectively. The Convent of Pleasure (1668) is a so-called 'closet' drama, designed primarily for reading but drawing on a tradition of aristocratic theatricals. In a wide-ranging co-authored introduction to the volume, the editors explore the concerns of these playtexts in relation to contemporary debates surrounding popular festivity and anti-theatricalism, as well as the agency of elite female culture in the Stuart period and the emergence of the professional female actor in the Restoration. The volume will be an invaluable teaching and research tool for students and scholars of early modern drama, women's writing and performance studies more generally, as well as providing a rich sourcebook for the reader interested in seventeenth-century theatrical culture. ;
