批評家のレビュー

"The best memoir by a senior politician for years." (Simon Jenkins, Sunday Times)
"Beautifully written, utterly convincing and consistently interesting, the best political memoir for decades." (Philip Hensher, Spectator)
"The best prime ministerial memoir – discounting Churchill – since the genre began." (John Campbell, Independent)

あらすじ・解説

Former Prime Minister John Major takes a remarkable journey into his own unconventional family past to tell the richly colourful story of the British music hall. Music hall was one of the glories of Victorian England. Sentimental, vulgar, class-conscious, but always patriotic and on the side of the underdog, it held a mirror to the audiences’ hopes and fears - and sometimes the general absurdity of life. Vast, smoke-filled auditoriums were packed night after night in nearly every town and city in Britain. The most popular performers, such as Marie Lloyd, Vesta Tilley and George Robey, were among the highest paid and most celebrated figures in the land.

This was the world that John Major’s father, Tom, entered at the age of 21 as a comedian and singer. In My Old Man, the former prime minister uses his father’s story as a springboard for telling the entertaining history of the music hall - from its origins in Elizabethan times through to its heyday in the nineteenth century and eventual decline with the rise of radio and cinema in the twentieth century. Packed with anecdotes about the great performers of the day, this warm-hearted history conjures up a lost age.
