书名: Englishness and the Study of Politics: The Social and Political Thought of Ernest Barker (Ideas in Context)

Book Description
The definition of "Englishness" has become the subject of considerable debate, and in this important contribution to Ideas in Context Julia Stapleton looks at the work of one of its most wide-ranging and influential theorists, Ernest Barker. Infused with a strong cultural sense of nationhood, Barker's writings influenced a broad nonacademic audience, and their subsequent neglect graphically demonstrates the fate of a certain vision of Liberal England in the generation after World War One. With, however, the erosion of a particular sense of Englishness, Barker's ideas have begun to assume renewed resonance.
"...she presents a detailed examination of the forces that shaped Barker's thinking, utilizing his own extensive and unpublished letters as well as the works of scholars who influenced him....an absorbing exploration of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century political thought...." -- Albion
"The book is written at a level for professionals. The scholarship is thorough and well put together; it will be appreciated especially by specialists in intellectual history..." -- Perspectives on Political Science
"This is an excellent study that will be especially useful in these times of intense interest in British national identity. It is based on impressive research in both primary sources and secondary works and reflects a mastery of political theory." -- Thomas William Heyck, American Historical Review
