    MS 288 Morris Papers Title: Morris Papers Scope: Papers and correspondence of Brian Robert Morris, 4th Dec 1930-30 April 2001: academic, broadcaster, chairman/member of public and private Arts and Heritage related organizations and Life Peer, with some papers relating to his father Dates: 1912-2002 Level: Fonds Extent: 45 boxes Name of creator: Brian Robert Morris, Lord Morris of Castle Morris Administrative / biographical history: The collection comprises the surviving personal and working papers, manuscripts and associated correspondence relating to the life and work of Brian Robert Morris, university teacher and professor of English Literature, University Principal, writer, broadcaster and public figure through his membership/chairmanship of many public and private cultural bodies and his appointment to the House of Lords. He was born in 1930 in Cardiff, his father being a Pilot in the Bristol Channel, who represented the Pilots on the Cardiff Pilotage Authority, was a senior Mason and was active in the Baptist Church. Brian attended Marlborough Road School, where one of his masters was George Thomas, later Speaker of the House of Commons, and then Cardiff High School. He was brought up monolingual in English and though he learnt Welsh in later life, especially while at Lampeter, no writings in Welsh survive in the archive. He served his National Service with the Welch Regiment, based in Brecon and it was in Brecon Cathedral that his conversion to Anglicanism from his Baptist upbringing, begun as he accompanied his future wife to Church in Wales services, was completed. Anglicanism remained a constant part of his life: he became a Lay Reader when in Reading, was a passionate advocate of the Book of Common Prayer and a fierce critic of Series Three and the New English Bible, as epitomised in the book he edited in 1990, Ritual Murder .

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

  • Archibald Ormsby-Gore Was John Betjeman's Teddy Bear. Among
    EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD Aloysius and God. Editor's note: Archibald Ormsby-Gore was John Betjeman's teddy bear. Among other accomplishments, Claire Rayner is the author of many historical novels, including the Performers series (12 vols., 1973-1988), the Poppy Chronicles (6 vols., 1987-1988), and the Quentin Quartet (2 vols., 1994-1995). Book Reviews What’s that you say, Mr. Robinson? The Remarkable Lives of Bill Deedes, by Stephen Robinson. London: Little, Brown, 2008. 480 pp. £20. Reviewed by Donat Gallagher, James Cook University. Stephen Robinson’s The Remarkable Lives of W. F. Deedes is a sound biography, indispensable for anyone interested in Bill Deedes—journalist, soldier, parliamentarian, editor, cabinet minister, peer and amazingly long-lived roving reporter. It also sheds interesting light on twentieth-century newspaper history, the earliest use of television for political purposes and post-war Conservative Party politics. Two weak chapters irrelevantly pillory Evelyn Waugh. Born in 1913, W. F. (Bill) Lord Deedes was still working when he died in 2007, aged 94. By then he was a household name, widely admired as the epitome of a good journalist, a secular saint working with the likes of Princess Diana on anti-landmines crusades. Robinson declares his book The Authorised Biography, but it offers much personal information that tempers the public myth. Deedes emerges as spectacularly averse from normal contact with his wife and children, a shallow thinker with a Vicar-of-Bray-like capacity for emerging on the winning side following newspaper closures and hostile takeovers—his “subaltern’s mind” making him respectful of even the most repellent authority.

Abstract This thesis argues that ‘Thatcherism’ was consistent with the values and interests of the Conservative party. The threat of socialism was pervasive and underpinned by the party’s socio- economic base. The economic status of the middle class, under threat from inflation, pay controls, taxation, organised trade unions, and even comprehensive education, resulted in a strong emphasis on individual freedom. The free market, property, and choice, with their strong norm of methodological individualism, were the Thatcherite alternative. This strengthened those with skills and qualifications but destroyed the collective structures that supported those without. Thatcherite historiography is exercised most by intellectual high politics while the broader Conservative party has been neglected.

Clark School of History, University of St Andrews, St Andrews KY16 9AL, UK [email protected] Despite being characterized as ‘one of the worst agricultural accidents in Britain in the 1960s’, the ‘Smarden incident’ has never been subjected to a complete historical analysis. In 1963, a toxic waste spill in Kent coincided with the publication of the British edition of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. This essay argues that these events combined to ‘galvanize’ nascent toxic and environmental consciousness. A seemingly parochial toxic waste incident became part of a national phenomenon. The Smarden incident was considered to be indicative of the toxic hazards, which were borne of technocracy. It highlighted the inadequacies of existent concepts and practices for dealing with such hazards. As such, it was part of the fracturing of the consensus of progress: it made disagreements in expertise publicly visible. By the completion of the episode, ten different governmental ministries were involved. Douglas Good, a local veterinary surgeon, helped to effect the ‘reception’ of Silent Spring in the UK by telling the ‘Smarden story’ through local and national media and through the publications of anti- statist organizations. Keywords: pesticides; Smarden; Rachel Carson; expertise; environmentalism; pollution Long shadows fell over the village and over the people who lived there. There was, for one thing, the shadow of the ‘boffins’ who descended on the place, lifting samples of earth and departing in haste for London: there was the shadow cast by the bowler-hats of three different Ministries …, hats belonging to important- looking men who would neither confirm nor deny the wild rumours that were everywhere.

Despite being a wealthy, professional woman, it was as a lower-middle class ‘housewife’ that she won the Conservative party leadership in 1975 and the general election in 1979. This raises significant historical questions. What was it about a ‘housewife’ identity that was believed to suggest the necessary qualities of a political leader? It also emphasises the centrality of gender to Thatcher’s leadership image.

He was a customer of Anderson & Sheppard on Savile Row. Unfortunately, Evelyn Waugh’s Address Card is missing, but that of his elder brother, Capt. Alec Waugh, still exists (Figs. 1a & 1b). file:////uol.le.ac.uk/...c144/My%20Documents/Evelyn%20Waugh/Evelyn%20Waugh%20Studies/Newsletters/Newsletters/Newsletter_39.3.htm[04/12/2013 14:45:08] EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD Figs. 1a & 1b: Capt. Alec Waugh's Address Card at Anderson & Sheppard, Savile Row, London. On the card, there are a lot of addresses, which shows that Alec moved frequently, and one can trace his moves. Recommendations included Evelyn Waugh, Richard Connell, A. D. Peters, A. A. Waugh, Auberon Waugh, and C. A. G. Keeling, Alec's son-in-law Christopher, who married Veronica Waugh. Evelyn Waugh’s reference was Alec Waugh. In those days, one needed a reference when ordering suits, because there were no credit cards. Normally fathers introduce their sons to tailors. Perhaps relations between Evelyn and his father Arthur precluded such an introduction. Evelyn Waugh first came to A & S on 5 October 1926. In his diaries, he wrote that he "ordered a suit that is to cost 15 guineas" (267). The A & S Price List of January 1925 includes a "Lounge Suit of White Imperial" for £10, a lounge suit of "Drill" for £9.10, and a lounge suit "Lined Silk Althrough" for £17.17.

  • Poison in the Garden of England: Pesticides, Pollution, and the Modern State in the 1960S
    Poison in the Garden of England: Pesticides, Pollution, and the Modern State in the 1960s JFM Clark INTRODUCTION Throughout 1963 a veterinary surgeon, Douglas Good, struggled to explain the sudden deaths of dogs and various farm animals near the village of Smarden, Kent, in the UK. After suspicion had fallen on a local manufacturer of pesticides, Good had difficulties identifying the specific poisonous substance. Ultimately, an Oxford-based laboratory confirmed that the deaths had been caused by fluoroacetamide. This was a particularly nefarious substance, which had been used as a rodenticide and an insecticide. In the immediate aftermath of the ‘Smarden Affair’, the British government acknowledged it as ‘an unfortunate industrial accident’. A manufacturer of pesticides in Kent had indiscriminately dumped post-production waste onto the land outside its factory. This land was close to a stream and was surrounded by farms, which included cows, sheep, goats, and dogs. Despite the Ministry of Agriculture’s best attempts to disassociate itself from further involvement in an ‘industrial accident’, which was more appropriately the domain of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the Smarden Affair remained stubbornly within the rubric of a Carson-inspired ecological critique of the misuse of pesticides in the countryside.1 Jon Agar contends that ‘something about science changed in the long 1960s’. Taking a cue from Brian Balogh’s examination of expert debate surrounding nuclear power in the USA, Agar argues that the 1960s witnessed the emergence of publicly visible, divergent views of experts. In identifying when and where ‘agents emerged who could turn observable discord into observed discord’, Agar posits three overlapping factors (or ‘waves’).
