Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 1964, Mary Whitehouse launched a campaign to fight what she called the 'propaganda of disbelief, doubt and dirt' being poured into homes through the nation's radio and television sets. Whitehouse, senior mistress at a Shropshire secondary school, became the unlikely figurehead of a mass moveme…nt: the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association. For almost forty years, she kept up the fight against the programme makers, politicians, pop stars and playwrights who she felt were dragging British culture into a sewer of blasphemy and obscenity. From Dr Who ('Teatime brutality for tots') to Dennis Potter (whose mother sued her for libel and won) to the Beatles - (whose Magical Mystery Tour escaped her intervention by the skin of its psychedelic teeth) - the list of Mary Whitehouse's targets will read to some like a nostalgic roll of honour. Caricatured while she lived as a figure of middle-brow reaction, Mary Whitehouse was held in contempt by the country's intellectual elite. But were some of the dangers she warned of more real than they imagined? Ben Thompson's selection of material from her extraordinary archive shows Mary Whitehouse's legacy in a startling new light. From her exquisitely testy exchanges with successive BBC Directors General, to the anguished screeds penned by her television and radio vigilantes, these letters reveal a complex and combative individual, whose anxieties about culture and morality are often eerily relevant to the age of the internet. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Some tanning wear and marking due to age. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> At regular intervals B.B. used to make a desperate appeal to have his letters put in order. Look at these drawers, they are…already overflowing. And I would tease him about his habit of keeping every scrap of paper, even bread and butter letters. After his death and before the arrival of the first Director of the new Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, when B.B.'s rooms had to be cleared out, I did not have the heart to throw away what he had respected. respected. Besides, I felt that perhaps even the unim portant letters might help to create for future scholars an image of what I used to call B.B.'s spiderweb with its threads spun out in every direction. My faithful and efficient assistant, Fiorella Superbi Gioffredi, accordingly filed all the letters chronologically and stored them in a room which, already in 1954 when a new wing was added to the library, had been set aside and lined with cupboards for housing the whole collection of Berensoniana: B.B's and Mary's published.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. ["THE RADIATOR" A PERIODICAL OF THE GREAT WAR] Archive of Captain E. C. Behrens, Adjutant, including a near-complete run of "The Radiator" (1916-1918), with associated correspondence, photographs, and presentation material. Borough Road College, Isleworth, 1916-1918. Folio folder (2…40 x 290 mm), titled in gilt "THE RADIATOR (FILE COPIES)", containing 17 issues of the depot periodical The Radiator, December 15, 1916 to April 1918, and June 1918 (lacking May 1918), each issue 12 pp., all in original printed wrappers; together with a 4 pp. autograph letter signed from Colonel T. J. Kearns to Captain Behrens (26 January 1918), on embossed Borough Road College stationery; a presentation plate from five Boy Orderlies (January 1917); a signed menu card with ink caricature and signatures of officers (January 1918); and two photographs of uniformed women staff (one a group portrait, one individual, the latter signed by the photographer). Original cloth folder worn and marked, contents generally very good, occasional light creasing and toning. Borough Road College, Isleworth, was requisitioned for the Army Service Corps and adapted as a training centre for drivers, mechanics, and administrative staff responsible for the operation and maintenance of motor vehicles, a function of increasing strategic importance as the war progressed. The periodical The Radiator (a title emblematic of this new mechanical culture) was issued for circulation within the depot. It combined instructional content, humour, reportage, and illustration. The preserved run, extending from the first issue on December 1916 through mid-1918, includes a fine portrait plate of Colonel T. J. Kearns after William Strang in the opening number, and a series "History of the M.T." with illustrations charting the evolution of transport "through the ages". Such ephemeral publications were seldom preserved in sequence, and survivals in institutional runs are notably scarce. There are only 6 institutions that hold The Radiator in any capacity according to copac, with none in commerce. The archive is anchored by Captain E. C. Behrens, Adjutant of the depot, whose administrative role placed him at the centre of its daily operations. The accompanying autograph letter from Colonel Kearns, dated 26 January 1918, congratulates Behrens on "today's Gazette" and praises his "excellent work… as my Adjutant during the last ten months", indicating official recognition, likely connected to promotion or formal notice in the London Gazette. Particularly noteworthy are the two photographs of uniformed women staff, showing the expanding role of women in military support functions, likely connected with the Army Service Corps or associated auxiliary services. The signed menu card shows a humorous ink caricature of a non-commissioned officer and multiple officer signatures (January 1918). Taken together, the archive presents a well-documented picture of a specific wartime institution at a pivotal moment in military history: the shift from horse power to motor transport. Such material tied together through its Adjutant within a single depot, are uncommon on the market. Signed by Author(s).
