Imperialism and Popular Culture
Popular culture is invariably a vehicle for the dominant ideas of its age. Never was this more true than in the late-19th and early 20th centuries, when it reflected the nationalist and imperialist ideologies current throughout Europe. This text examines the various media through which nationalist ideas were conveyed in late-Victorian and Edwardian times - in the theatre, "ethnic" shows, juvenile literature, education and the iconography of popular art. Several chapters look beyond World War I, when the most popular media, cinema and broadcasting, continued to convey an essentially late-19th-century world view, while government agencies like the Empire Marketing Board sought to convince the public of the economic value of empire. Youth organizations, which had propagated imperialist and militarist attitudes before the war, struggled to adapt to the new internationalist climate.

The Six Murders of Daphne St Clair
PRE-ORDER NOW! Ninety-year-old Daphne Saint Clair has just confessed to being a serial killer. But someone else has been keeping score... Typically, no one bats an eyelid when a care home resident dies in their sleep. But then the dead man's late-in-life companion confesses to his murder. And to many more. Daphne St Clair is finally ready to share her story. And podcaster Ruth King is the person Daphne chooses to tell it. As each murder is revealed and each episode lands, the country is soon swept up in the most sensationalised serial killer investigation in living memory. Is Daphne a feminist icon taking revenge on bad men? Or just a ruthless criminal? And as the season finale approaches, it soon becomes clear neither woman has been honest with the other. After all, is murder really the darkest secret you can hide?
