  • Russell in the Lords
    rticles RUSSELL IN THE LORDS K W History / U. of Georgia Athens, –, @.. Bertrand Russell sat in the House of Lords as the third Earl Russell from to . In these nearly years as a Labour peer, Russell proved to be a fitful attender and infrequent participant in the upper house—speaking only six times. This paper examines each of these interventions—studying not just the speeches themselves but also their genesis and impact within Parliament and without. Of all the controversial and important foreign and domestic issues faced by Parlia- ment over these four decades, it was matters of peace and war which prompted Russell to take advantage of his hereditary position and, more importantly, of the national forum which the Lords’ chamber provided him. ertrand Russell’s aristocratic lineage was central both to his own self-understanding and to the image his contemporaries—English Band non-English alike—had of him over the course of his im- mensely long life. Although his patrician background added an unde- niable exoticism to Russell’s reputation abroad, within Britain it was central to his social position as well as to cultural expectation. No matter how great his achievement in philosophy or how wide his notoriety in politics, Russell’s reputation—indeed, his very identity—possessed an inescapably aristocratic component, one best summed up by Noel Annan’s celebrated judgment that alone of twentieth-century English- russell: the Journal of Bertrand Russell Studies n.s. (winter –): – The Bertrand Russell Research Centre, McMaster U. - men Russell belonged to an aristocracy of talent as well as of birth.

  • 16 Russell 1502
    CONRAD RUSSELL Derry Moore Conrad Sebastian Robert Russell 1937–2004 CONRAD RUSSELL, THE FIFTH EARL RUSSELL, historian of sixteenth and seventeenth-century Britain, was born on 15 April 1937. He was the younger son of the mathematician, philosopher, political activist and Nobel prize winner Bertrand Russell, OM, FRS. In 1931 Bertrand became the third Earl Russell, inheriting the title created in 1861 for his grandfather Lord John Russell, proponent of the 1832 Great Reform Act and twice prime minister. Bertrand was an admirer of the novelist Joseph Conrad, and in 1921 wrote to him to ask permission to name his first son John Conrad. The author died in 1924, but Russell also gave the name to his second son, intending that (unlike John) he should be known by it. Conrad’s mother was Bertrand’s third wife, the striking redhead Patricia Spence, always known as ‘Peter’, an Oxford undergraduate hired origin- ally as a summer holiday governess who later became Bertrand’s secre- tary. They married in January 1936, after Bertrand and his second wife, the feminist Dora Black, concluded an acrimonious divorce triggered by his leaving her for Peter in 1932. Peter was still in her twenties, while Bertrand was already 64. Conrad was born in April 1937 and spent his first year in Kidlington near Oxford, where his father told at least one vis- itor, Lady Constance Malleson (the actress Colette O’Niel), that the baby was ‘the spitting image of my grandmother Stanley’ [of Alderley].1 In autumn 1938 Conrad and his parents moved to the University of Chicago where Bertrand had been offered a one-year professorship.

UU 5^x02^ THE SEIZURE OF THE LAIRD RAMS Part I I conceive that revolutions, and those who participate in them, can never be correctly valued separately from the whole movement of the civilization of which they form a part. Thus, as I see it, the American Civil War closed the era of British supremacy, won during the Napoleonic epoch, when privilege made its last stand, and opened the age of pure democracy, in which we now live, and whose bourne we cannot discern. With the peace of 1815 a period began with England performing the function of the heart of human civilization and, like every other mechanism, this mechanism depended on an equilibrium among its parts which presupposed a certain distribution of wealth and power, generating a cor¬ responding cast of thought. Such an equilibrium was in¬ compatible with a united, rich, populous and democratic America. By 1861 it had already been impaired, on Lee’s surrender at Appomattox it definitely shifted ; but Lee’s surrender would not have occurred unless Great Britain had been so neutralized during four years that her privileged class had not been able to ally their country with the South. It follows, therefore, that although the actual battles which accompanied this revolution were fought in the western hem¬ isphere, the forces which determined victory converged in London, and were world wide.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION This fourth volume of the editorial series British Envoys to Germany comprises the last sixteen years of the German Confederation, between the Dresden Conferences of 1851 and the war between Prussia and the majority of the other member states in 1866. Many historical accounts of German politics of the years 1851 to 1866 are influenced on the one hand by the legacy of the revolutionary events of 1848– 1849 and on the other hand by the dissolution of the Confederation and Bismarck’s unification of a German nation-state dominated by Prussian policies and politics. While the early 1850s can be seen as a period of ‘reaction’ and a negative response to popular social and political demands, the remainder of the period is generally discussed in terms of the struggle for mastery in Germany, particularly the political and ultimately military conflict between Prussia and the Austrian Empire. However, the envoys’ correspondence questions teleological accounts of the time between Dresden and Koniggr¨ atz.¨ Throughout the 1850sand1860s, British diplomatic representatives reported on all matters regarding the German states and the German Confederation. In addition to international affairs and bilateral relations, the dispatches also cover German politics, its federal dimensions, and the policies and societies of the federal states. Like other contemporary sources, the envoys’ reports provide strong evidence that the period 1851–1866 should be seen as more than just a time of transition between revolution and unification. In fact, the multifaceted
