Professor Bogdanor to talk at Blackwells Bookshop about his new book `The New British Constitution`

Vernon Bogdanor will be appearing at Blackwells Bookshop on Monday 23rd November at 7pm to talk about his new book `The New British Constitution`.

`The New British Constitution` is the first book to describe and analyse Britain`s new constitution, asking why it was that the old system, seemingly hallowed by time, came under challenge, and why it is being replaced.

`Vernon Bogdanor offers a fresh insight into the substantial, and still largely underappreciated, changes to the British constitution. He combines the approaches of the political historian, the constitutional lawyer and the political scientist to put the changes into a wider context. It is a must read for anyone interested in British politics.` Peter Riddell, The Times.

`This book is written with a vigorous clarity, with easy expertise and with quiet wit. Bogdanor is himself a part of the constitution, an unacknowledged legislator: the book is a revelation.` John Lloyd, The Financial Times.
