Acclaimed after the Second World War as England's greatest
historian, Sir Lewis Namier was an eastern European immigrant who
came to idealise the English gentleman and enjoyed close friendship
with leading figures of his day, including Winston Churchill.
Today, Namier is associated with the belief that the thoughts and
actions of elites matter most, and with a view of politics in which
those who enter public life do so only in pursuit of personal and
material advantage. This exaggerated view has made him a hero to
social and political conservatives, and a demonic figure to the
Left. Preoccupied by nationalism, empire, and human motivation,
Namier also remains famous in academic circles for supposedly
declaring that any reference to ideas in political discourse was
nothing more than 'flapdoodle'. The first biography of Namier in
over thirty years, this book is based on a vast range of sources,
including rich new archival material. -- .
