Stiff Upper Lip: An Emotional History of Britain
- Alternative title
- Ian Hislop’s Stiff Upper Lip
- Synopsis
- Ian Hislop asks when and why we British have bottled up or let out our feelings and how this has affected our history.
EMERGENCE investigates Britain’s emotional history. Hislop charts how and why the stiff upper lip emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
HEYDAY investigates Britain’s emotional history. Hislop argues that we have the Victorians to thank for making the stiff upper lip a genuinely national characteristic.
LAST HURRAH? Hislop takes a wry and witty look at the ups and downs of the stiff upper lip since the First World War and asks whether it still has a role in contemporary Britain. - Language
