Description level 1
Content Summary The papers of Gerald Frank Shove (1887-1947) were discovered in 1995-6 split between three different locations in the Marshall Library. Only the two files of papers relating to Michael Daly are known to have been consciously deposited in either the Faculty or the Library by Shove, as is shown by his annotation. It is possible that he deposited early undergraduate notes and Fellowship essays, but there is no written evidence to support this. Since the files of notes for his Cambridge lectures date until his final illness in 1947, it may well be that these and the other papers were in a room in the Economics Faculty at his death. Shove's will stipulated that his papers were to be destroyed, as re-stated by his sister-in-law Ermengard Maitland in her preface to 'Fredegond and Gerald Shove' by Fredegond (privately printed, 1952). The survival of these papers for 50 years, latterly unidentified as the work of Shove, is therefore the more remarkable. Summary The papers have been divided into 5 sections. These are notes on Cambridge Economics lectures taken by Shove as an undergraduate, his own writings and drafts, notes for his Cambridge lectures, notes on other economists' works and papers of Michael Daly, one of his research students. Note Gerald Frank Shove was born at Ospringe near Faversham, Kent in 1887, the second of three sons of Herbert Samuel Shove. He went to Uppingham School and then in 1907 to King's College, Cambridge, where he initially studied Modern Languages. Having been influenced by Keynes, he changed to Economics and gained a First in 1911. He then began to work for the Bar, but by the outbreak of war in 1914 was running a journal called 'War and Peace' for Norman Angell. He married Fredegond Maitland in 1915 and as a conscientious objector spent the duration of the war on farm work in Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Kent. He then worked for the 'Economist' in London, moving to Cambridge when the original post-holder returned. He initially coached economics students, later gaining a lecturing post. In 1926 he gained a Fellowship at King's College. He served on various College and University committees and rose to the position of Reader in Economics. He published a number of articles and reviews in the 'Economic Journal', but devoted much of his energy to teaching, particularly economic theory and on value and distribution. He never enjoyed good health, but also managed to maintain interests in pacifism and animal welfare.

Title Malthus and Dr. Drierch or The Beaver's Warning
Content Summary Annotated in pencil in top right corner of first page that was read to Political Economy Club in Cambridge in Lent Term 1912. Not signed by Shove, but handwriting is characteristic. Summary Shove appeals for "clearer and more comprehensive restatement of the problem of population than has yet been given." Examines whether Malthus's warnings have more meaning than is usually admitted. Quotes Ravenstein's address to British Association in 1890, which calculated that earth would be full in another 182 years. Shove believes that "Nature will in the course of a few generations have to have recourse to the old 'positive checks' of war and famine to prevent the over-peopling of the earth". Relates population increases to future economic activity and possible disaster. Cites various economists, including Tawney on fact that decline in U.S.A. birth rate is favourable to maintenance of high standard of living and democracy. Labour is less fluid internationally than capital. Summary Shove cites much from work of Norman Angell and argues that overpopulation is real danger, legislation could limit the right of marriage. The beaver is in the equatiion as when threatened by pursuer he bites off his reproductive organs. Shove argues for sterilization of humans who are unable to earn a statutory minimum wage, together with state maintenance. Person Name Malthus, Thomas Robert & Ravenstein, [] & Tawney, R.H. & Angell, Norman Subject keywords Political Economy Club, Cambridge Subject keywords overpopulation
