Clare Politics is proud to announce that the third speaker for Lent Term 2008 will be leading British political historian Peter Hennessy.

Peter Hennessy is Attlee Professor of Contemporary British History at Queen Mary, University of London and Fellow of British Academy. Starting his career as a journalist he covered British politics for The Times, the FT and the Economist before re-entering academia.

Since then he has continued to publish with great acclaim, his study of post-war Britain and the rise of Harold Macmillan, Having It So Good: Britain in the 1950s, won the 2007 Orwell Prize for political writing. His work on British civil service The Secret State: Whitehall and The Cold War led Andrew Marr to describe him as ‘the irreplaceable analyst of the inner core of the British system of government’.

Peter Hennessy will address Clare Politics on the subject of:
‘The Brown Style of Government’

[Monday 18th February - Latimer Room, Old Court, Clare College]
