Description
An uncorrected proof copy of Rule Britannia by James Bellini, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1981. A near fine copy, with fading to the spine, edges a little rub-worn, bumping to the top corner of front board.
Rule Britannia: A Progress Report for Domesday 1986 by James Bellini is a sharp socio-political portrait of Britain during a turbulent era. Through essays and analysis, Bellini examines social and economic conditions; local industry, unemployment, class divides and cultural shifts. He uses the Domesday concept to document real communities, drawing a vivid, ground-level snapshot of late 20th century British life. With its empirical detail and thoughtful commentary, the book remains a valuable record of Britain’s social landscape.
