Synopsis "England: The Last Hurrah (in English)"
A fly-on-the-wall account of eighties upper-class EnglandCaptures high society at its most riotous, and its most vulnerableEnglish eccentricity makes a final stand in a changing worldFollow-up to the acclaimed Oxford: The Last Hurrah ISBN 9781788840712"I wondered if the party guests I'd photographed were just re-enacting a nostalgic fantasy, an imaginary version?of England?that already no longer existed." - Dafydd JonesThroughout the 1980s, award-winning photographer Dafydd Jones was granted access to some of England's most exclusive upper-class events. Now, the author of Oxford: The Last Hurrah presents this irreverent and intimate portrait of birthday parties and charity balls, Eton picnics and private school celebrations.With the crack of a hunting rifle and a spray of champagne, these photos give an almost cinematic account of high-society England at its most riotous and its most vulnerable. Against the backdrop of Thatcher's Britain, globalization, the Falklands War, rising stocks and dwindling inherited fortunes, Jones reveals the inner lives of the established elite as they party long into the night-time of their fading world.Praise for Oxford: The Last Hurrah'Sublime vintage photographs...' - Hermione Eyre, The Telegraph'In The Last Hurrah...we see familiar faces from British high society poised on the brink of adulthood.' - Eve Watling, Independent
