Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz/ Department of English), course: Seminar: Thatcherism in British Literature, 22 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The 1980s marked a watershed in British history. Margaret Thatcher's rise to power stirred up the country, for she took hitherto unprecedented and contentious measures to shape the political landscape of Britain. Her agenda, amongst others, encompassed the privatisation of formerly state-owned industries which brought "popular capitalism" into being (Seldon / Collings 28). This new mindset saw to it that greed was no longer outlawed. Apart from this, she uncompromisingly clamped down on trade unions and led Britain into the Falklands War. In a speech in 1999, Tory MP William Hague was fulsome in his praise of Mrs Thatcher, who, according to him, had had the courage to set the British people free from the intimidation of trade union barons as well as from planned economies (cf. Hague). But this is just one side of the coin. Against this, historians like Eric Evans propound that Thatcher must be seen as a "damaging and divisive failure" who created a Britain that was "less tolerant, more greedy and far less humane" (Seldon / Collings 91). Her opponents held her responsible for the demise of community spirit because it was she who encouraged and provided a framework for individuals to pursue their own materialistic interests. The "Iron Lady" polarised society: she was either adored or demonised. It is precisely this antagonism which has provided a fertile ground for writers. To see this, one just needs to look at the outpour of hatred directed against self-seeking Tory villains. Jonathan Coe is a recent and eminent English novelist who views Thatcherism and its aftermath critically. Coe's satire What a Carve Up! (1994) offers a "view of p

Britain's first female prime minister remains a political figure of almost mythical proportions. Margaret Thatcher divided a political nation, became a cultural icon, and was the longest-serving prime minister of the twentieth century. Her period in government coincided with extraordinary changes in British society and in Britain's place in the world. Thatcher's Britaintells the story of Thatcherism for a generation with no personal memories of the 80s, as well as for those who want to revisit the polemics of their youth. It seeks to rescue Thatcher from being seen as John the Baptist for Tony Blair, stresses that Thatcherism was not a timeless phenomenon, but rooted in the 70s and 80s, and focuses our attention away from her legend, to what her government actually did during this tumultuous period in British history.

Margaret Thatcher was prime minister from 1979 to 1990, during which time her Conservative administration transformed the political landscape of Britain. Science Policy under Thatcher is the first book to examine systematically the interplay of science and government under her leadership. Thatcher was a working scientist before she became a professional politician, and she maintained a close watch on science matters as prime minister. Scientific knowledge and advice were important to many urgent issues of the 1980s, from late Cold War questions of defence to emerging environmental problems such as acid rain and climate change. Drawing on newly released primary sources, Jon Agar explores how Thatcher worked with and occasionally against the structures of scientific advice, as the scientific aspects of such issues were balanced or conflicted with other demands and values. To what extent, for example, was the freedom of the individual scientist to choose research projects balanced against the desire to secure more commercial applications? What was Thatcher’s stance towards European scientific collaboration and commitments? How did cuts in public expenditure affect the publicly funded research and teaching of universities? In weaving together numerous topics, including AIDS and bioethics, the nuclear industry and strategic defence, Agar adds to the picture we have of Thatcher and her radically Conservative agenda, and argues that the science policy devised under her leadership, not least in relation to industrial strategy, had a prolonged influence on the culture of British science.

The Anatomy Of Thatcherism written by Shirley Robin Letwin and has been published by Fontana Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1992 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
The Anatomy of Thatcherism explains how, for the first time in British history, a prime minister's name has become an 'Ism'--a symbol of a profound social change. Letwin argues that Thatcherism promoted a moral agenda rather than an economic doctrine or a political theory in order to achieve a fundamental realignment in British politics. She introduces a new term--"the vigorous virtues"--to describe what Thatcherites have aimed to cultivate in Individual Britons and In the country as a whole. Her definition of Thatcherism is supported by a detailed analysis of the principal Thatcherite policies and the grounds on which they were advocated and opposed, Inside and outside the Conservative Party. Without departing from a lucid and lively style or resorting to technical jargon. Dr. Letwin explains such innovations as schools opting out, budget holding by GPs, and the creation of the first ever competitive spot market in electricity. Just how did the Thatcherite administrations shape the reform of the unions? How is the Thatcherite attitude to the family connected with Thatcherite policies on schools? Why does mon-etarism appear--wrongly--to be at the heart of Thatcherism? The Anatomy of Thatcherism is a bold and searching book about how Britain changed between 1979 and 1992. It challenges many truisms about British politics, and Is indispensable reading both for those who believe in the future relevance of Thatcherism and for those who want to demolish it. And it will be of particular interest to those con-cerned with the history of British politics, as It shows how Thatcherism both arose out of, and confronted, trends that had per-meated Conservatism for the entire twentieth century.
