‘The First World War and the Experience of Crisis’
This is a redrafted version of Alex Mayhew’s Dennis Showalter Memorial Lecture 2022. Originally delivered at the National Army Museum in March 2023, the piece was reworked in early 2025. Drawing upon the author’s work to date, it considers what the concept of crisis offers historians, how the Great War was underpinned by crisis, and briefly explores the experience of crisis during the First World War.The Dennis Showalter Memorial Lecture is an ho…
English Patriotism and the Implicit Nation: Homelands and Soldiers’ National Identity during the Great War
This article explores the patriotism and national identity of English soldiers during the First World War. Using this conflict as a case-study, it draws together work on Great War mentalities and scholarship on Englishness. It argues that individuals’ national identity focused on and formed around the ‘implicit nation’, which was primarily concerned with communities and parochial local (or regional) spaces. There was no ‘essential’ England: the h…
British Expeditionary Force Vegetable Shows, Allotment Culture, and Life Behind the Lines During the Great War
Popular perceptions of 1914–18 focus on the trenches. Yet, much of soldiers’ time was spent in rear areas and many men never reached the frontlines. By studying life behind the lines it is possible to offer new perspectives on the experience of the Great War. In August 1917 and 1918, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) took over the usually quiet paths and lawns of Le Havre's Jardin St Roche, which the mayor of the town had agreed to loan to th…
A War Imagined: Postcards and the Maintenance of Long-Distance Relationships during the Great War
This article explores the role of postcards in the maintenance of relationships between combatants and civilians during the First World War. By drawing on untapped archival material found during wider research into the morale of English infantrymen, it concentrates on the multiple uses of this medium in correspondence between the Western and Home Fronts. Following the 'cultural turn' in military history it has become increasingly apparent that th…
Morale: A Modern British History. By Daniel Ussishkin
Sometimes words, such as morale, become so embedded in everyday usage that we rarely pause to consider their meaning. Morale is encountered and referenced on a regular basis; yet even the most cursory of glances at the literature shows just how contested both its definitions and interpretations are. They are both temporally and geographically fixed. In Morale: A Modern British History Daniel Ussishkin narrates, with success and sophistication, th…

Money as Electricity
Morris Copeland created the flow-of-funds accounting that is used by the Federal Reserve System and the financial press to present and explain data on crucial spending changes among various sectors of the US economy. Copeland also argued that it would be more accurate and useful to use electricity rather than water as a metaphor for money and for the accounts that he created. This paper explores Copeland's mid-twentieth-century argument, why it w…

Contrasting origins of the two institutionalisms: The Social Science Context
Work of institutionalists, both old and new, is usually compared to that of other economists. Here it is compared to developments in other social sciences. Old institutionalism is based on a strategy of seeing mankind as product of culture; old institutionalism is part of culture-based twentieth-centry social science. New institutionalism has developed in a peiord when the trend is to favour a view of mankind as 'rational chooser'. In part this t…
The National Banking System and Southern Economic Growth: Evidence from One Southern City, 1870–1900
Evidence from banks in one southern city casts doubt upon the view that the quasi-monopolistic structure of the national banking system financed American industrialization by depriving southern and western regions of relatively inexpensive money. An increased number of national banks were lending much more locally in the 1880s and 1890s in Knoxville, Tennessee, than they were in the 1860s and 1870s. The national banking expansion and associated e…

"The First Economic Revolution" As Fiction
In an earlier issue of this journal Douglass C. North and Robert Paul Thomas proposed to explain agricultural revolution as both cause and effect of a revolution in rights. 1 In their view population pressure led to a gradual shift to cultivation which must, they argue, have occurred simultaneously with a change in rights, which then provided incentive for shift to cultivation and for human progress which followed. In this comment I shall argue t…
Schumpeterian Capitalism versus the “Schumpeterian Thesis”
A Reappraisal of the Causes of Farm Protest in the United States, 1870–1900
Between 1870 and 1900 American farmers organized in the Grange, the Alliances, and the Peoples (Populist) Party and protested against a variety of economic ills. Economic historians have generally explained the farm organizations and the protests in the same way that the farmers themselves explained them—in terms of low agricultural prices and high costs of inputs resulting in part from the monopolistic organization of the suppliers of those inpu…
