Public and Private Doctrine

By Jonathan Parry, James Jones, Ian Harris, et al.

Book Overview

Maurice Cowling's first two books appeared in 1963, when he also became a Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge. Thirty years later this volume brings together a group of pupils, admirers and critics who have contributed essays dealing with facets of what Cowling calls public doctrine in modern British history, together with critical assessments of his writing. The book aims to be as unsycophantic, rebarbative and diverting as its dedicatee, while offering something genuinely worthwhile to all readers interested in recent historical and current intellectual tendencies in England.
