"Henry Scott Tuke enjoyed great commercial success and popularity during his lifetime (1858-1929) but, like many British Victorian and Edwardian artists, his reputation suffered during the 20th century. His work is now experiencing a resurgence in popularity. This attractive and engagingly written book, accompanying an exhibition at the Watts Gallery, will give the artist the new attention his work deserves"-- Famed for his depictions of sun, sea, and sailing during a late Victorian and Edwardian golden age, the British painter Henry Scott Tuke RA (1858–1929) is an intriguing artistic anomaly. Moving between Cornish-based artist colonies and the London art scene, stylistically Tuke presents a fusion of progressive plein airisme, loose impressionistic handling, and a vivid palette, and yet he was fundamentally an academic painter of exhibition nudes. Though consistently successful throughout his lifetime, in the wake of two world wars Tuke’s depictions of bathing boys came to represent a seemingly outmoded epoch. This far-reaching study features new research from leading authorities on Victorian and Edwardian art, including Kenneth McConkey and Michael Hatt. Essays tackle questions of wide-ranging artistic influences, experimental art practice, and a varied reception history. Tuke’s repeated portrayal of adolescent male nudes provokes challenging questions about the depiction, exhibition, and reception of the body—especially the young body—both then and now

"As Britain begins to confront the new challenges of the post-Brexit era, it is timely to re-examine the nature and causes of British foreign policy after World War II. Srdjan Vucetic contends that Britain's tenacious search for a global power role was never simply a function of a certain elite-level culture or consensus. Rather, it developed from mainstream, gradually evolving ideas about "who we are" circulating within British and more specifically English society as a whole. Greatness and Decline builds on Making Identity Count, a project to assemble a constructivist database of national identities for the use in International Relations and in social sciences and humanities more generally. Political speeches, newspapers, history textbooks, novels, and movies help the author reconstruct the content and contestations of Britishness across colonial, Cold War, and post-Cold War periods. He then uses this analysis to shed new light on the kingdom's interactions with the rest of the world. This book will appeal to those who wish to know how and why exceptionalist ideas have for so long influenced British foreign policy. It will also appeal to those interested in possible new directions for Britain in an increasingly unstable world."--
