Smart Set: How the Bright Young Things Took Britain

from History Loves Company · host Chester Sakamoto

Celebrity and tabloid culture are nothing new. We forget that the stories and scandals of today are not a recent phenomenon. Indeed, what we now regard as salacious can, in fact, trace its roots back a century at the height of the Roaring Twenties, when a lively and decadent youth subculture took Britain by storm with their shocking behavior. Join me this week for a look at the Bright Young Things and see how little has truly changed!
