Night Waves

on BBC Radio 3

It may have become a cliche, but few would deny that Britain is peculiarly obsessed with class. But what do we actually mean by it, and how does it affect our lives? In his new book, Class in Britain, historian
David Cannadine argues that we need to think about class more historically and reflectively. "It is not," he says "yet another book about toffs and nobs, social climbers or working-class heroes." He talks to Paul Allen about the insight history offers into the way we think about the society we live in today.
