Synopsis
Johnathan Green's oral history of the sixties 'underground', Days in the Life, has been until now the most complete account of that celebrated (and much maligned) decade. In All Dressed Up he expands on that book to provide a facsinating and controversial overview of the cultural and political events of the decade. Comprehensive, detailed, often hilarious, this will be the definitive account of the sixties in Britain, challenging the myths fostered by those who were there and enlightening those who were not. Green's sixties begins with the invention of the 'teenager' with the Teds, the Beats and CND; it ends with the Oz trial and with two of the decade's most lasting legacies: the women's movement and gay politics. In between his focus is on the whole panoply od that extrordinary decade, from sex, drugs and rock'n' rol to student protest, the anti-Vietnam movement and the radical social legislation-abortion, obscenity, homosexuality and capital punishment-pioneered by Roy Jenkins. The underground press, the Arts Lab, 'Swinging London', Anti psychiatry, the hippie trail, the festivals, the drug busts...Green surveys them all with affectionate but critical eye, celebrating the prevailing optomism of the sixties while remaining far from blind to its absurdities.
