Author: Claire Langhamer

[Claire Langhamer] has written a wise and important book that deserves the attention of policymakers and opinion formers as well as historians … It is the best sort of history, which makes intelligible the problems of our time and gives a subtle lesson in past and present mistakes … Her bracing good sense stands in splendid contrast to the nonsense in which the English entangled themselves whenever they approached the bedroom door., “Claire Langhamer presents a captivating history of heterosexual love and commitment between the 1920s and the 1970s.”–Journal of Modern History, [A] wonderfully evocative, nuanced and readable examination of the changing status of romantic love in the middle years of the 20th century., Engaging … The most original part of this work describes the unmarried interwar person’s struggle with the definition of love and the difficulty of disentangling it from sexual desire., Langhamer lays out vivid evidence for small changes amounting to something so radical she calls it a revolution., [Claire Langhamer] is a lively writer, and what is most enjoyable about the book is the vast collection of real-life experiences she has gathered together., [Odd and unexpected facts make] turning the pages of this serious and well-researched book seem more like fun than homework. The English in Love doesnt advise, deplore or make judgements about how we should behave; but its an engaging portrait of a subject and a period that are so often misunderstood., [E]ngrossing … Reading The English in Love is like watching a flickering black-and-white home movie. The cacophony of voices pull us back to the moment when seamed stockings gave way to minskirts and the golden age of marriage gave way to spiralling divorce., ‘Claire Langhamer’s social history is a fascinating exploration of the evolving relationships among heterosexual love, sex, and marriage from 1900 to 1970.’Leicester Mercury
