Book Review
History, Historians, and Conservatism in Britain and America: The Great War to Thatcher and Reagan
2010
Overview
[...]the English historians F. J. C. Hearnshaw, Keith Feiling, and Arthur Bryant are discussed for the inter-war decades (19-176), and Herbert Butterfield for the post-war decades (179-219). [...]it is not clear exactly how, and in what sense, Americans, bound to the Constitution as amended, repudiating George III and his heirs and successors in title, can be true conservatives - a term that on the western side of the Atlantic arguably applies more appropriately to the United Empire Loyalists and their spiritual descendants in Canada. [...]there is the problem of influence. [...]when politicians and historians adopt compatible standpoints, they might in truth be registering a deeper tide in human affairs that affects both equally, one that for a time is carrying them and journalists and pundits and a portion of public opinion along with them in the same direction.
