The  successes (and failures) of the dynasty and the implications of these for its  long-term survival are assessed from the perspectives of constitutional, political,  diplomatic and socio-cultural history. Emphasis is placed on the use of  symbols and tradition, and their reinvention, and public reactions to their  employment by the Windsors, including the evidence provided by opinion polls. Starting  with George V, and including darker times such as the challenge of the  abdication of Edward VIII, this collection considers how far this reign was a  key transition in how the British royal family hasperceived itself and its  role through examination of the repackaging for mass consumption via the media  of a range of state occasions from coronations to funerals, as well as  modernization of its relations with the military.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-12-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137564542\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-56455-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 290\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752456712332,"sku":"9781137564542","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137564542.jpg?v=1775055720","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137564542","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
