Maurice Cowling's first two books appeared in 1963, the year in
which he also became a Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge. This volume
brings together a group of pupils, admirers and critics who have
contributed essays dealing with facets of what Cowling calls
'public doctrine' in modern British history, together with critical
assessments of his writing and his role as a major Cambridge
figure. This varied group of essays helps to situate Cowling's work
in its wider environment which will aid those who are coming to it
for the first time or who are trying to make sense of its complex
filiations. Above all, it seeks to be as unsycophantic, rebarbative
and diverting as its dedicatee, while offering something genuinely
worthwhile to all readers interested in recent historical and
current intellectual tendencies in England.
