Phoebe Chow 3 Abstract Public opinion in Britain influenced the government’s policy of retreat in response to Chinese nationalism in the 1920s. The foreigners’ rights to live, preach, work and trade in China extracted by the ‘unequal treaties’ in the nineteenth century were challenged by an increasingly powerful nationalist movement, led by the Kuomintang, which was bolstered by Soviet support. The Chinese began a major attack on British interests in June 1925 in South China and continued the attack as the Kuomintang marched upward to the Yangtze River, where much of British trade was centred.

  • Cooper Collection
    University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives. Ref: MS 181 Title: Cooper Collection Scope: Documents, both published and unpublished, of an anti-semitic nature apparently compiled by an individual, thought to be F. T Cooper, a cartoonist associated with the Imperial Fascist League, and mainly of the 1930s. Dates: 1917-1954 (mainly 1930s) Level: Fonds Extent: 6 boxes Name of creator: F.T. Cooper Administrative / biographical history: This is a miscellaneous collection of ephemeral materials expressing a strongly anti- semitic viewpoint which appears to have belonged to an individual. It was purchased in February 1993 from a bookseller who had received it in a wooden trunk bearing the name 'Cooper'. Some of the items are inscribed 'F.T. Cooper', and the title 'Cooper Collection' therefore seems appropriate. F.T. Cooper was a cartoonist associated with the Imperial Fascist League, who issued a number of the pamphlets in the collection. The collection consists of both manuscript and printed material, some of the latter being rare, such as the English language version of World Service issued by the Nazis in the 1930s. It is divided into the following categories: Printed pamphlets Leaflets and ephemera Manuscripts and typescripts Newspapers and newsletters Certain other material has been subsequently added to this collection where considered appropriate (e.g. microfilm versions of serials in the Newspapers and newsletters section). Related collections: Fascism in Great Britain Collection Source: Purchased 1993 System of arrangement: By genre Subjects: Fascism - Great Britain; Anti-Semitism - Great Britain Names: Cooper, F.T.; Imperial Fascist League 1 Conditions of access: Available to all researchers, by appointment Restrictions: None Copyright: According to document Finding aids: List based on the bookseller's catalogue COOPER COLLECTION MS 181/1 Printed Pamphlets 1.

  • Britishness and Problems of Authenticity in Post-Union Literature from Addison to Macpherson
    "Where are the originals?" Britishness and problems of authenticity in post-Union literature from Addison to Macpherson. Melvin Eugene Kersey III Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. University of Leeds, School of English September 2001 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his/her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the generous help, encouragement and support of many people. My research has benefited beyond reckoning from the supervision of Professor David Fairer, whose inspired scholarship has never interfered with his commitment to my research. It is difficult to know whether to thank or to curse Professor Andrew Wawn for introducing me to James Macpherson's Ossianic poetry during my MA at Leeds, but at any rate I am now doubly indebted to him for his insightful reading of a chapter of this thesis. I am also grateful to Professor Paul Hammond for his enormously helpful comments and suggestions on another chapter. And despite the necessary professional distance which an internal examiner must maintain, I have still enjoyed the benevolent proximity effect of Professor Edward Larrissy. I am grateful to Sue Baker and the administrative staff of the School of English for providing me with employment and moral support during this thesis, especially Pamela Rhodes. Special thanks to the inestimable help, friendship and rigorous mind of Dr. Michael Brown, and to Professor Terence and Sue Brown for their repeated generous hospitality in Dublin.

In England, however, the British fascists set about to save what they saw as a dying empire. In an effort to restore Britain’s greatness, British fascism held to fascist principles and doctrine to stem the flow of immigration, which fascists saw as darkening the pure British culture. While many of the British fascists strongly admired Nazi Germany‘s version of fascism, they were unique in that they forged their solutions from social ills that were distinctly British.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ^ aNv & 1VD!llX)d S^ZZ -/ S Abstract The thesis compares national perspectives on the legitimacy of the European Union. It develops a definition of legitimacy as a dual concept. Formal legitimacy describes the constitutional nature of a political system, whereas felt legitimacy is defined as the aggregate citizen beliefs about the legitimacy of their political system. Legitimacy is important for the EU because it is a necessary condition for its efficacy and long-term stability. The EU’s need for legitimacy also increases in proportion to the degree of integration. The legitimacy of the EU is unusual in that it varies among the member state from whose perspective it is evaluated. That is because the EU’s legitimacy is contingent on the constitutional structure and national identity of its member states.
