The History of
the Neck in
Britain
(Continued from page 6)
sentiment, created during
the hundred years war was
bolstered by the squabbling
over colonies that took place
in the sixteenth to eighteenth
centuries. This sentiment pre-
vented the adoption of the
popular French style neck and
caused the population of the
British Isles to be antineck in
general. It was not. until the
French revolution, when
riotous mobs began distribut-
ing the hoarded necks of the
aristocrats to the general pop-
ulation did the question of a
British neck arise.

By this time neck develop-
ment in Britain was quite far
behind the rest of the world,
but many British entrepre-
neurs were determined to cre-
ate a neck both as functional
and advanced as those of
France. From 1800 to 1850,
neck development in Britain
progressed at a rapid rate,
aided by the steam-powered
‘workshops and factories of
post industrial revolution
England.

The popularization of the
neck in Britain was aided, in
part, by the fashions of the
Victorian period. High collars
enabled noblemen and the
British middle class to obscure
their newly purchased necks
from public view. During this
time, any man seen with a
bare neck in public would be
subject to the cries of small
children: “Get rid of the neck
you fucking frog!” As the mid-
die class grew the use of the
neck increased until any man -
or woman could display his
neck without fear of reproach.

Sadly, some families in
Britain still have not adopted
the neck, mostly out of tradi-
tion and pride. However, in
place of it, many British fami-
lies have begun experiment-
ing with large, functional ears
and teeth. Now that it seems
that the neck if firmly rooted in
Britain, it is impossible to tell
what the British will be able to
accomplish.
