The 20th Century brought revolutionary changes to our world and our lives: the human population of the world tripled, space travel became reality, two world wars and a host of other conflicts were fought, and huge advances in science, technology and communication resulted in the globalised world we know today. Enormous steps were made in wiping out widespread discrimination, from the women’s suffrage movement leading to women’s right to vote in western countries, to the civil rights movement in the US challenging racial segregation. The political landscape has provided lots of excitement, with charismatic and scandalous presidents in the White House, the first female prime minister in the UK, dictators working to various manifestoes across the world, the Middle East conflict and the changing balance of political and economic “superpowers”.Technological advances have resulted in nigh on universal adoption and dependence on automobiles, computers, mobiles and other wireless technology. The exponential rate at which technology is evolving is one of the variables that make the twentieth century so fascinating.All this and much, much more happened in a mere one hundred years – where did we find the time to do so much?! Twentieth Century History For Dummies tells all...

Jeeves and the British Empire

P.G. Wodehouse and Popular Humour in the Decline of British Imperialism

AvSeán Lang

Inbunden, Engelska, 2027

Kommande

What on earth has PG Wodehouse, the creator of the Inimitable Jeeves and the hapless Bertie Wooster, got to do with a serious topic like the decline and fall of the British Empire? The answer, perhaps surprisingly, is Quite a Lot.The British Empire depended on splendid show and display, but that made it very vulnerable to ridicule. No-one was better placed to provide it than PG Wodehouse, son of an extensive family of senior Empire servants, but whose life had continually been blighted and his ambitions thwarted by the ups and downs of Britain's Empire story.Jeeves and the British Empire tells the story of how Wodehouse used his comic creations to poke fun at those pompous stinkers who explored places and built Empires and then came home to bore everyone rigid with their tales of how they did it. From Baden-Powell's boy scouts to Sapper's imperial hero Bulldog Drummond - no Empire figure was safe from Wodehouse's leg-pulling.Where Wodehouse led others followed. Film-makers and television producers took the hint and gleefully highlighted the absurdities of Empire. From the Boulting Brothers to Carry On Up the Khyber and the completely misjudged and misunderstood It Ain't Half Hot, Mum, this book shows how comedy took its cue from PG Wodehouse and held Britain's Empire up for laughs. Some Empires end with a bang, some with a whimper; the British Empire ended in irrepressible giggling - and PG Wodehouse can claim much of the credit.
