The Discourse of ‘The People’s War’ in Britain and the USA during World War II The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Sean Dettman, Richard Toye
David Edgerton has argued that the term ‘people’s war’ was not much in use during World War II and that where it did occur it was used in ‘a critical and oppositional, rather than an official-celebratory’ sense. We show that Edgerton’s conclusions are an artefact of his limited source-base and narrow reading of the evidence. The phrase ‘people’s war’ was in fact used in Ministry of Information propaganda

Renegotiating Citizenship through the Lens of the ‘People’s War’ in Second World War Britain The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Jessica Hammett, Henry Irving
This article re-examines the importance of the ‘people’s war’ by exploring the word history of the phrase. The article shows that the term was widely used and understood on the British home front during the Second World War. Our focus is on how it provided a framework to renegotiate citizenship. Drawing on a wide range of popular newspapers, magazines and life writing, we argue that the ‘people’s war’

A Cliché to Be Avoided Like the Plague: The ‘People’s War’ in the History and Historiography of the British Second World War The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 David Edgerton
The forum shows that I correctly diagnosed the place that ‘people’s war’ has in the historiography of the Second World War; that, if anything, I underestimated the grip that the connected series of beliefs about ‘people’s war’ have come to have over some historians of the British Second World War; and how difficult it is to start a conversation about framing assumptions and the nature of the historiography

The ‘People’s War’ in Concrete and Stone: Death and the Negotiation of Collective Identity in Second World War Britain The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Lucy Noakes
This article explores ideas and feelings about the burial of the war’s dead, and their memorialisation. It investigates the relationship between a drive to remember the conflict’s dead as members of the collective wartime nation, and a desire by many of the bereaved to emphasise familial ties and the individual lives of the dead. While this was not a new concern—and had already been seen, for example

‘Tanto di Capuccini come di Giesuiti’: Religious Orders, Exceptionalism and the Absolution of Heretics in Early Modern Italy The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Jessica M Wärnberg
From the first history of the Society of Jesus, written in the late sixteenth century, to modern scholarship on the order, texts by and about Jesuits have suggested that their approach to sacramental confession distinguished them from other religious groups in the eyes of the laity and ecclesiastical hierarchy. Recent histories have suggested that the particular spirituality, approach and talent of

The Lutheran Experience in the Ottoman Middle East: Stephan Gerlach (1546–1612) and the History of Lutheran Accommodation The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Richard Calis
This article examines what it meant to be Lutheran in the early modern Middle East. Its point of departure is a letter in which Stephan Gerlach, a sixteenth-century Lutheran chaplain to the imperial ambassador in Istanbul, asked his superiors about the type of behaviour that befitted him as a Lutheran. Was he allowed to wear a Turkish turban to see mosques and learn about Islam? Was it permissible

The Laws of Rollo as a Primitive Constitution for Normandy: Writing and Rewriting Legal History in France during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-02-01 Gilduin Davy
The laws of Rollo are regularly evoked in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Norman historiography. As a result of a renaissance of interest in, and the study of, medieval Norman sources, notably the gestae of Dudo of Saint-Quentin and Guillaume of Jumièges, early modern jurists and historians located the legal particularism of Normandy in Rollo’s laws. They exploited these sources in order to preserve

‘A Wall of Defence unto this Realm’: William Cecil, Conformity and the Protestant State in Early Elizabethan England The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-01-30 Alexandra Gajda
This article reassesses conceptions of the religious conformity required of public magistrates in the 1560s through the prism of William Cecil’s schemes for reformation of the state. Scholars have argued that ‘the Crown’s’ aims in defining the conformity of subjects were ‘political’ rather than ‘evangelical’ and primarily focused on securing obedience. This article argues instead that leading Protestants

The Select Council of Philip I: A Spanish Institution in Tudor England, 1555–1558 The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2024-01-27 Gonzalo Velasco Berenguer
Traditional interpretations of the reign of Philip and Mary in England and Ireland (1554–58) have tended to investigate this short-lived episode from a strongly Anglocentric perspective. Such an approach has often hindered interpretations of crucial aspects of the reign that have wider implications for the study of Britain, Spain and Europe in an increasingly globalised world. Philip’s creation of

Archbishop Wulfstan of York and the Danish Conquest of 1016 The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-12-30 Andrew Rabin
Wulfstan, archbishop of York (1002–1023) and bishop of Worcester (1002–1016), occupies a pre-eminent place in the political history of eleventh-century England, yet surprisingly little is known of his life and career. The consequences of this ignorance are particularly acute for the years surrounding the Danish Conquest of 1016. The upheavals of this period led Wulfstan to compose his most well-known

The Retreat from ‘High Technology’ in Post-War Britain The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-12-26 Tom Kelsey
This article argues that the 1970s saw an important change in the attitude of the British state to civil technological projects. It focuses on supersonic aviation and nuclear power policy as its case-studies, which were the key areas of techno-nationalist investment in the post-war period. It shows that Whitehall became radically more sceptical about state-led Research and Development, scrapped many

Henry of Lancaster’s Revolt (1328–29): Conflict, the Politics of Kingship, and the Political Public in Fourteenth-Century England The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-11-18 Matt Raven
The late medieval period was an important phase in the history of political communication in England, as more people than ever before became involved in debates about royal governance. The first half of the fourteenth century, however, has been relatively under-studied in this regard. This article analyses a set of arguments put forward during a revolt led by Henry, earl of Lancaster, in 1328–29. After

What Is Islamic History? Muslims, Non-Muslims and the History of Everyone Else The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-11-17 Christian C Sahner
This is a work of historical criticism, not a research article or a book review. It re-examines what we mean by ‘Islamic’ when we speak about the discipline of ‘Islamic history’, the standard term for the history of the lands where Muslims were politically and, in some senses, culturally dominant, especially during the Middle Ages. It investigates the consequences of this implicitly religious label

In 2020, as statues around the world were pulled down, intellectuals scrambled to make sense of the phenomenon. Veteran voices joined new experts from varied disciplines in contributing to the established field of iconoclasm studies, adding to the ongoing debates around history, memory, politics and public monuments. This seemingly global movement was fuelled by, and indeed fuelled, debates among the

Chartist Studies and Malcolm Chase: A Re-appreciation The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-11-17 Katrina Navickas
Malcolm Chase (1957–2020) was the pre-eminent scholar of the Chartist democratic movement, and more broadly, of working-class political and social action in early nineteenth-century Britain. His work in many respects shaped a shift in the study of Chartism within labour and cultural history. Rejecting the inward-looking diversion into the ‘linguistic turn’ of the early 1990s, Chase offered a broader

Prelude to Re-education: US Internationalists, Students and the German Problem, 1919–1949 The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-11-15 Elisabeth Piller
Much has been written about US efforts to solve the ‘German problem’ after the Second World War. Scholars have carefully studied US attempts to de-Nazify, pacify and democratise post-war Germany and have identified the creation of large-scale student exchange programmes as an integral part of that agenda. As this article shows, 1945 was not the first time in the twentieth century that US policy-makers

Au Nom de la Patrie: Southern Identities and Patriotic Mobilisation in First World War France The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-09-13 Pierre Purseigle
At the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, many French commentators doubted that France had the strength to withstand the trials of war. Yet the national mobilisation for war was an indisputable success that surprised military planners and political leaders alike. Despite inauspicious beginnings and the unprecedented material and human costs of war, France held out, and the Republican nation-state

The Nkrumah Factor: The Strategic Alignment of Early Postcolonial Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-09-13 Marco Wyss
In stark contrast to the Nigerian Civil War, when the Ivorian President Félix Houphouët-Boigny supported the secessionist Biafran Republic against the Federal Military Government, early postcolonial relations between Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria were close. This ‘entente cordiale’ was underpinned by the friendship of Houphouët-Boigny and the Nigerian Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, who were

Shortly after William of Orange arrived in Devon at the outset of the Glorious Revolution in 1688, Dutch troops stationed in Dartmouth seized the Amitié, a ship laden with marble purchased for the French court at Versailles.

In 1935, Palestinian newspapers published a forged letter alleged to have been sent from pan-Islamist leader, Shakib Arslan, to the Palestinian leader and Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husayni. The letter indicated that Husayni and Arslan accepted Italian bribes in exchange for pro-Italian articles in the publications they controlled.

‘So Manly and Ornamental’: Shoe Buckles and Britain’s Eighteenth Century The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-08-25 Matthew Mccormack
The shoe buckle of the eighteenth century is an alien object today. At the time, shoes were manufactured without fastenings and the buckle was purchased separately. This offered opportunities for decoration, particularly for men, whose shoes were otherwise plain and unchanging. Over the course of the century, buckles grew larger and more elaborate, reaching their apogee in the ‘Artois’ style of the

In July 1970, Uganda’s President Milton Obote published—under his own name—a plan for a new system of single-party elections. ‘Document Number Five’, as it was called, offered a radical solution to a profound problem. Africa’s nationalist politicians had committed themselves to adult suffrage and the secret ballot as an affirmation of the existence of the nation. Yet they feared that an untutored public

When a senior medical officer summarised the work of army chaplains in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, he said: ‘The true physicians here are the padres, and they are doing more good to the patients than anyone else’. Chaplains, however, have been largely absent from the extensive scholarship on Belsen. Similarly, widespread interest in post-Holocaust Christian–Jewish relations

Disorder, Riot and Governance in Early Tudor London: Evil May Day, 1517 The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-08-09 Shannon McSheffrey
On the eve of the May Day festival in 1517, a night of anti-immigrant violence broke out in London. Though pre-modern English historians have frequently invoked Evil May Day, as it came to be called, it has only recently been given concerted scholarly attention. The riot itself was ordinary, one amongst dozens in the first decades of the sixteenth century; it reveals, as a reflection of endemic grievance

This article explores early modern practices of ‘comfort eating’, arguing that they represent a crucial dimension of early modern preventative healthcare. The article argues that ideas of comfort eating were shaped not only by medical understandings of the composition of foods and their impact on the body, particularly on the levels of the four humours, but also by the cultural and social significance

Revelation, Revolution and Utopia, c.1770–1820 The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-06-14 P M Jones
The philosophes and France’s revolutionaries are often held jointly responsible for the attack on revealed religion in the course of the eighteenth century. This article suggests that the culture of belief among the laity of Protestant and Catholic Europe was not seriously undermined or even radically altered by the ralliement of State churches to the rationalistic and utilitarian values of the Enlightenment

This article examines the practice of ‘requisitioning’ public meetings in Great Britain and Ireland. These written requests to office-holders emerged in Ireland and then Great Britain, following bitter contests over the authenticity and authority of addresses and meetings claiming to represent a county or town in the decade after 1769.

The 1832 Reform Act and the Place of Illuminations in Late Hanoverian Political Culture The English Historical Review (IF 0.661) Pub Date : 2023-03-07 Timothy Jenks
This article explores the place of illumination festivity in the struggle for the 1832 Reform Act. Illuminations, a form of revelry in which crowds took to the streets and threatened to break the windows of those householders who did not submit to the demand of an exhibition of lights, were a staple of Britain’s repertoire of popular contention throughout the long eighteenth century. But their role

The Liberal Party’s 1972–4 revival under Jeremy Thorpe placed it at the heart of political debate in 1970s Britain—a period marked by inflation, strikes, and recurrent talk of political ‘crisis’. This article explores the evolution of Liberal policy, strategy, and support between 1970 and 1979, and argues that Thorpe and his colleagues were agents as well as beneficiaries of electoral dealignment.

British pre-First World War culture has often been described as militaristic. An Englishman’s Home, Guy du Maurier’s 1909 play about a German invasion of Britain, forms part of this picture. Yet the message of the play was not clear-cut, and Edwardian society reacted as much with bemusement and criticism to the idea that Britain could be invaded as with militaristic fervour.

In October 1939, the British Government lifted a formal ‘colour bar’ to military service for the duration of hostilities. Yet despite the state’s rhetoric of a multi-racial, multi-ethnic ‘People’s War’, racial discrimination continued to pervade Britain’s wartime armed forces. In particular, the Royal Navy (RN) fiercely resisted opening up naval service to eligible British men of colour. Providing

This essay examines representations of New England puritanism in royalist print and manuscript polemic during the English Revolution of 1642–1660 and beyond.

This article re-examines the place of the Middle Ages in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century English culture. In doing so, it presents an argument about the interrelationship of landscape, history and English national identity.

Historians of both the medieval and early modern eras have characterised the governing structures of rural communities as being dominated by local elites. However, interpretations are hampered by a lack of clear criteria against which to evaluate whether a village-governance regime was ‘open,’ and characterised by wide participation, or ‘closed’, and characterised by the narrow restriction of office

The memoirs of the parliamentarian lawyer and MP Bulstrode Whitelocke are invaluable as a primary source for historians wishing to understand the political history of the 1640s and 1650s.

Abstract Amon Wilbee was the authorial pseudonym for four tracts critical of the Long Parliament that appeared between July 1647 and May 1648. Wilbee depicted leading MPs as corrupt, self-interested, and insensitive to the needs of the people. These tracts reveal much about the origins of the Levellers; but, because of their uncertain authorship, they have received little attention from civil war historians

Abstract It is common knowledge that, under the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, economic inequality and poverty in the United Kingdom rose dramatically, but it is often overlooked that during the 1980s knowledge about movements in poverty and inequality was much less certain and was subject to political battles over statistical policies, measurements and figures.
