«A History of Modern Britain» is the historical essay by Andrew Marr, published by Macmillan in hardcover (500 pages, in English).
The book covers post-war British history and explains how the great political ideals of a New Jerusalem or a second Elizabethan era were displaced by the culture of consumption, celebrity and complacency. It also addresses comedy, the persecution of homosexuals, anarchists, oil and British theatre.
The work was published on May 17, 2007 and accompanies a five-part documentary series broadcast by the BBC.
The book is aimed at readers interested in the political, social and cultural history of the United Kingdom since the second half of the 20th century.
