Twilight of the Dons: British Intellectuals from World War II to Thatcherism by Colin Kidd
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.2 MB
Overview: After World War II, the dons of Oxford and Cambridge formed a uniquely powerful, establishment-tethered intelligentsia, a far cry from the anti-establishment intellectuals of other nations. Colin Kidd’s *Twilight of the Dons* charts their golden age and subsequent decline, exploring their confrontations with 1960s student radicals, their complicity in the rise of Thatcherism, and the fraying of their elite connections. From convert Catholicism to Tory Marxism, Kidd examines the ideas and figures—including Isaiah Berlin and Hugh Trevor-Roper—that defined this insular world until its influence finally waned.
