A review added of the 1981 TV mini-series of Malcolm Bradbury’s THE HISTORY MAN (linked). The TV version is said to have had a major effect on attitudes to higher-education during the rise of Margaret Thatcher. The review goes into several side alleys on tertiary education. It also has some autobiography, as Malcolm Bradbury supervised my MA just two years before the era the book is set in (1972). The cast is tremendous … Anthony Sher, Michael Hordern, Geraldine James,Isla Blair, Laura Davenport, Miriam Margolyes, Paul Brooke, Maggie Steed. It’s extremely watchable and very funny.
