Social attitudes and writing style
In this section of the website there are comments about some
of the stories
which appear in our publications, along with brief extracts from the
stories.
Mostly, the stories are analysed for social
attitudes and writing style, although there might also be some
political commentary.
Where possible, some humour is injected into the commentary.
Social attitudes
To some extent, the social attitudes which prevailed at the time the stories were written influences the writing style. This is inevitable.
Writing style
If we were pressed (no pun intended) to describe
the original writing style - the style of
journalism, we would probably describe it as
' pompous' and
'opinionated.'
But we would also probably describe it as 'colourful' - more
colourful than modern
journalism.
