Abstract

‘How on earth did the strong right arm of Prometheus Unbound end up with Harold Wilson, Blue Streak … and Upstairs, Down-stairs?’ (Nairn, 1988, p. 310)

I would like to thank Mike Artis, Huw Beynon, Felix Burdzhalov, Pat Devine, Bob Rowthorn and Roger Williams for helpful comments on an earlier draft.
