Counter-Cultural Lifestyles in Regional England, 1965-1975

More about the book

Focusing on regional cultural developments from 1965 to 1975, this book challenges the notion that only London was vibrant during this era. It explores the diffusion of metropolitan culture into English counties, highlighting the boutique scene, alternative cinema, and art festivals. The narrative also addresses the impact of regional newspapers and delves into the legacies of the Women's Liberation and Gay Liberation movements. Ultimately, it redefines the provinces as dynamic regions that actively engaged with and contributed to the cultural landscape of the time.
