This book discusses Tatler, a monthly glossy magazine aimed at the wealthiest groups in British society, to consider how it addresses social change. The volume addresses specifically the period from 1997, the year New Labour was elected under Tony Blair, up to 2010, when the Conservative party and David Cameron came in to power. Sallie McNamara scrutinizes how the magazine negotiates ideas of ‘Britishness’, class, gender and national identity in a changing social, political, economic and cultural climate. Additionally, she explores the magazine’s humorous approach, and looks at how that distinctive address can potentially lead to misinterpretation. The British class system has seen many challenges over the period of the magazine’s history, and this study expertly grapples with exactly how Tatler has maintained its audience in a continually changing social environment.

Until the middle of the last century, London's social calendar was dominated by 'the Season', a round of social events and parties during which the daughters of the upper classes made their 'debuts'. Debutantes and their families descended on the capital from all over Britain to take part in this elaborate process that in its blend of glamour, great privilege and archaic and sometimes comic ritual is emblematic of a world now lost. From the preparations and formalities of court presentation to the exhausting round of parties that followed, Debutantes and the London Season is a detailed look at a phenomenon that was central to the lives of generations of privileged young ladies.

Review: 'An intriguing tale by a former foreign correspondent who followed his dream and built a hotel on a lake in a remote part of Poland. In the post-Communist era John Borrell found himself battling old style corruption and intimidation. As this elegantly written book shows, he eventually triumphed and continues to live the dream' --James MacManus, author of On the Broken Shore and Language of the Sea 'This is not simply another foreigner-makes-home-abroad story. Borrell was for many years a foreign correspondent for TIME and he writes with a reporter's keen eye for detail on his battle against corruption while building a lodge, and a new life, on a beautiful lake in northern Poland' --Alan Cowell, author of The Terminal Spy and New York Times Paris correspondent 'A deft weave of reporting, history and personal anecdotes, John Borrell's account of the travails, drama and misadventures of creating a luxury lodge in post-Communist Poland reads like a novel - one that could only have been lived, and written, by a consummate foreign correspondent' --Allen Pizzey, CBS News foreign correspondent.
