Animating the Age
Our raison d'être
Research and writing
animatingtheage.com is publishing articles online which may have originated as research projects but for readability do not include the detailed notes and references required for academic publication. The focus is the rich texture of British cultural life dating from the 19th century to the present day.
The articles feature descriptions of educational projects, biographical monographs and commentary on current issues.
The reader is invited to contact the project group and engage in dialogue about any further information they require. Connections to other websites are provided.
