  The English Constitution

  Walter Bagehot

  The challenge facing Walter Bagehot while writing the essays that became his study of The English Constitution is that, infamously, there is no "English constitution," at least, not one that has ever been written down. The government of Great Britain and Ireland, in Bagehot's day, is the result of centuries of evolution, and so is the product of custom, precedent, reform, and a great degree of chance. As a "constitutional monarchy," the theory of government that Bagehot describes entails chiefly the role of the monarch, the main legislative assembly—the House of Commons—and its counterpart in the "upper house," the House of Lords which, despite its apparently higher social register, is in reality a subordinate assembly. In these arrangements, the Reform Acts of 1832 and 1867 (the latter being debated while Bagehot was writing his essays) played a major role, and loom large in Bagehot's discussion of the institutions of his day. The second edition of his work, published in 1872, takes a considered view of effects of the second phase of reform. At the time of writing, Bagehot was well settled into his role as Editor of The Economist , then a newspaper under the ownership of his father-in-law. Bagehot's prose remains eminently readable, showing a light touch and sense of humor in explaining sometimes arcane arrangements of government, and often reflecting on its contrast with American practice. His sturdy prose bears comparison with that of his contemporary, the novelist Anthony Trollope . In some ways, The English Constitution could be seen as the theoretical basis for Trollope's political novels , and those novels (especially Phineas Finn , Phineas Redux , and The Prime Minister ) as commentaries on Bagehot's theory. While now dated, Bagehot's essays were widely influential and remain the standard work on British constitutional arrangements. Woodrow Wilson took inspiration from Bagehot in his own thesis, Congressional Government , in which he called Bagehot "the most sagacious of political critics," without peer in "that field of critical exposition in which he was supreme, the philosophical analysis … of the English Constitution."

  An absorbing and often hilarious account of the author's 12 years as closeted cabin crew for British Airways.  It's a story of love, creativity and acceptance, the transformative power of lesbian love and more.  Told with the wit and verve that characterised her debut novel, Karen's memoir of flying as cabin crew offers a fascinating insight into the profound impact of long-haul life.  Having come out as a lesbian she is forced to go back in as colleagues advise her that it is not ok to be gay, unlike male cabin crew. Brimming with vertiginous loops and extreme globe-trotting, against a backdrop of exotic locations, hotel bars and nightclubs, Karen slowly unravels as the inability to truly be herself reverberates. This is the story of how Karen finally came into land. How she learned to look after herself and discovered her true strength. "Atmospheric and idiosyncratic, this is a memoir that entertains and emboldens" Observer
