In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.

Részben ennek hatására egyre szélesebb körben válik elfogadottá, hogy nemcsak a vállalatok, hanem a területi egységek is verse- nyeznek egymással. Ezen felismerésnek köszönhetıen a területi versenyben való helytállást kifejezı regioná- lis versenyképesség fogalma mára a regionális tudomány egyik központi fogalmává vált. Nemcsak a témakör elméleti kérdéseivel foglalkozó kutatók, hanem a gazdaságpolitikusok egy része is a versenyké- pesség, mint „hívószó” köré szövik programjaikat. Többek között az Európai Unióban a harmonikus, kiegyensúlyozott területi fejlıdés megvalósítását (vagyis a területi különbségek mérséklését) célzó regio- nális politika évek óta a régiók versenyképességének javítását tartja a kohézió és a felzárkóztatás egyik legfontosabb, leghatékonyabb eszközének. Habár a területi verseny és a regionális versenyképesség a kutatások elıterében áll, ennek ellenére a fogalomkör még napjainkban is viták tárgyát képezi, a külön- féle elméleti alapokon álló irányzatok képviselıi eltérı módon közelítenek a kérdéskörhöz. Tanulmányunk célja, hogy áttekintse és szintetizálja az alapvetı elméleti közgazdaságtani irányzatoknak

  • The Book of Ebenezer Le Page and Guernsey Literature and History
    ‘THE ROCK WHENCE YE ARE HEWN’: THE BOOK OF EBENEZER LE PAGE AND GUERNSEY LITERATURE AND HISTORY It say in the Bible ‘Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.’ Well, those people are the rock whence I was hewn, and the hole of the pit whence I was digged. I haven’t said nothing about my cousins, and the cousins of my cousins; but then half the island is my cousins, and the cousins of my cousins. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page was published posthumously in 1981 and was highly praised on publication by such major contemporary novelists as John Fowles and William Golding. The novel sold well and created an interest in Guernsey life that it had seldom attracted before. Doubtless the vivid local colour of the book and its evocation of Guernsey’s ‘otherness’ within modern British and European culture had a large part to do with its success. The circumstantial details of the publication of the novel o·er the stu· of good journalistic copy. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is Edwards’s only published novel. He began it when he was in his late sixties; he made a few unsuccessful attempts to publish it when he was in his early seventies; and it was finally published in 1981, five years after his death in 1976. Very little else is known of Edwards’s life. He was born on Guernsey in 1899, but left the island as a young man to study at Bristol University.
