Description
The nineties was a decade when British culture regained its position at the artistic centre of the world. This period saw an explosion of creativity in art, comedy, fashion, film, football, literature and music, as the nation's self-confidence soared. From the rise of Lad Culture and Girl Power to the rivalry between Blur and Oasis, the nineties were a time of great change and cultural shift. Through sixty-eight voices that defined the decade, including politicians, musicians, artists and comedians, this book chronicles the highs and lows of Cool Britannia. It was an era marked by both optimism and disillusionment, as the country united behind a resurgence of patriotism and celebrated all things British. However, it was also a time of false promises and misplaced trust, when branding and spin dominated the airwaves. Today, Don't Look Back In Anger provides a compelling historical document of one of the most eventful periods in British history. With its unique blend of voices and perspectives, this book offers a fresh perspective on an era that continues to shape our understanding of identity and culture today.
