    Rhetoric: A Very Short Introduction
    The Culture of Fascism
    `Guilty Women', Foreign Policy, and Appeasement in Inter-War Britain
    • British women were deeply invested in foreign policy between the wars. This study casts new light on the turn to international affairs in feminist politics, the gendered representation and experience of the Munich Crisis, and the profound impression made by female public opinion on PM Neville Chamberlain in his negotiations with the dictators.

      The history and ideologies of the Far Right in Britain have been well documented, but until now there has been little understanding of the movement's cultural foundations. The book demonstrates that British fascism is essentially not just a political movement, but one that had as its goal the establishment of an all-embracing fascist culture in Britain. The contributions in this volume by a distinguished team of cultural historians cover film, theatre, music, literature, the visual arts and the mass media.
