For half a century, Tony Benn was Britain's leading radical, defying the leadership of the Labour Party and staking out the moral high ground. His principled stands and spellbinding oratory commanded the respect of friends and foes alike. Benn was a strident voice for peace in a troubled world, notably as a key figure of opposition to the invasion of Iraq. His influence stretched even beyond the grave, with the 2016 Brexit referendum owing everything to Benn's promotion of referendums as part of his concept of popular democracy. This comprehensively revised edition of Jad Adams's classic biography, updated with a new introduction to mark the centenary of Benn's birth, was written with unparalleled access to his private records. Chronicling the behind-the-scenes story of this remarkable man's rise and fall, and his triumphant return as the conscience of the nation, this acclaimed biography explores Benn's continuing legacy in 21st-century Britain.
During the 1890s, British women for the first time began to leave their family homes to seek work, accommodation, and financial and sexual freedom. Decadent Women is an account of some of these women who wrote for the innovative art and literary journal The Yellow Book.For the first time, based on original research, Jad Adams describes the lives and work of these vibrant and passionate women, from well-connected and fashionable aristocrats to the desperately poor. He narrates the challenges they faced in a literary marketplace, and within a society that overwhelmingly favoured men, showing how they were pioneers of a new style, living lives of lurid adventure and romance, as well as experiencing poverty, squalor, disease and unwanted pregnancy.
