THE JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO CIRCLE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

The Journal of British Studies, founded in 1961, is published at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle under the auspices of the North American Conference on British Studies. It was the result of the imagina- tive generosity of a Trinity College alumnus, Frederick E. Hasler (Hon. LL.D. 1957) who contributed funds to the College for the specific purpose of establishing a learned periodical in the field of British history. Several Trinity alumni subsequently contributed to the fund. The University of Illinois at Chicago Circle now supports the publication of the Journal.

The North American Conference on British Studies is a scholarly society affiliated with the American Historical Association and open to anyone in the United States and Canada interested in British civilization in its several aspects: historical, archaeological, literary, artistic, political, and sociological. Its North American constituency comprises about 800 mem- bers drawn from the fifty states and the ten provinces. Affiliated with the parent organization are seven regional conferences (New England, Middle Atlantic, South, Midwest, Rocky Mountain, Pacific Coast, and Northwest), each having its own officers, programs, and other activities and with a combined membership of more than 2,000. The Conference convenes at least once a year in the autumn, usually in joint session with one of its regional affiliates. It seeks to encourage the serious study of British institutions and culture among university and college teachers of British history, literature, politics, as well as allied subjects, and among the general reading public through meetings, book prizes, association with likeminded organization in North American and Britain, and through its publications program.

The Conference sponsors a wide variety of publications. The Journal of British Studies is published at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. Another journal, Albion, issued four times a year at Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, and sent to all members of the parent organization, includes articles, the proceedings of the Conference at its regional and national meetings, and book reviews. The Conference also sponsors several book series, including Current Research in British Studies, a periodic survey of research in progress, edited and published at Kansas State University, Manhattan; Studies in British History and Cul- ture, a monograph series, edited at Wittenberg University, Springfield, Ohio, and published by Archon Books; and a biographical series, edited at Indiana University at South Bend, and published by Shoestring Press. Another series, on bibliography, is edited at Stanford University and

published by Cambridge University Press. The Conference's newsletter, The British Studies Intelligencer, also sent to its members, is published at the University of California, Irvine. It contains notices of meetings throughout North America and Britain devoted to British studies, news of appointments, moves, and retirements by those active in the profession, announcements of major new research projects, and notes on current publications and individual research in progress.

Through the award of a number of book prizes, the Conference seeks to encourage publications in the fields of British history, culture, and politics.

The Journal of British Studies appears twice in the academic year, in the Fall and in the Spring. Inquiries about subscriptions should be directed to Bentley B. Gilbert, Editor, The Journal of British Studies, Department of History, University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, Box 4348, Chicago, Illinois 60680.

The Gentleman in Trollope Individuality and Moral Conduct Shirley Robin Letwin Letwin examines the concept of the English gentleman in a totally new way.

Indian Summer Lutyens, Baker, and Imperial Delhi

Robert Grant Irving The magnificent buildings of New Delhi were designed by Lutyens and Baker as an expression of the British resolve to bring disciplined order to the Indian subcontinent. They convey the very essence of art for empire's sake, yet by the time they were com- pleted the city had become instead a monument to the demise of British authority. This handsome book ex- plores the symbolic meaning of the capital and the dramatic progress of its construction.

JOHNS HOPKINS

Nationalism in Ireland D. G. Boyce

Here are the Irish, from Gaelic chieftains to the battle-hardened residents of modern Ulster, "talking aloud about their politics." D. G. Boyce draws on newspapers, pamphlets, poems, popular literature, and speeches to examine the development of Irish nationalism, its relationship to social and economic change, and its failure to forge a truly united Ireland.

Boyce identifies the chief characteristics of Irish nationalism as race, religion, and a strong sense of territorial unity and integrity, and explores the profound influence on each of these by the power and proximity of England. The "triumph" of nationalism in modern Ireland, he asserts, is a hollow one-- little more, in fact, than a cosmetic cover-up of the problems of regionalism, apathy, rural backwardness, and conflict between classes and religions that have plagued the Irish for centuries. $32.50
