In 1859 Japan was a distant, different country only just beginning to open up after its long period (1603-1858) of self-imposed isolation. During 1991, British-Japanese relations are becoming closer, with increasing interdependence in many fields. This book is a celebration of the individuals who have worked to bring Britain and Japan together and a celebration in particular of the Japan Society of London, which marks its centenary in 1991. The Society has, for a long time, taken a lead in promoting and maintaining good relations between the two countries. The book begins with a history of the

This book gives an account of Britain’s rise and fall over the past 200 years, painting a provocative picture of a once great nation reduced to a European statelet. Jeremy Black demonstrates that the nation we know today has outgrown the industrial and commercial empire which once made Britain great throughout the world. As he argues, the achievements and innovations of the great inventors and industrialists were appropriate in their time but Britain is searching for a new role and a new place among the leading nations.

When the sun set on the British Empire, the resultant fragmentation of British identity emerged most tellingly in artistic works: cinematic works such as Howards End depicted a richly historical land steeped in tradition and tragedy, while the more modern Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels revealed a brutal yet sharply humorous portrayal of contemporary English life. That relationship between nationalism, national identity, and postcolonialism remains central to many British dramatists’ works, and in Film, Drama and the Break Up of Britain, Steve Blandford explores how the “br
