Knowing how much some people seem to like memoirs here at least is a way of thinking more systematically about them:
Richards, D. and Mathers, H. (2010) ?Political memoirs and New Labour: interpretations of power and the “club rules”?, British Journal of Politics and International Relations, 12 (4), pp. 498-522.
A neat quantitative study, again showing how systematic study can be brought to subjects hitherto considered basically the realm of qualitative sources:
Jennings, W.I., et al. (2011) ?The agenda of British government: the speech from the throne, 1911-2008?, Political Studies, 59 (1), pp. 74-98.
