  • Russia and the creation of jazz in the British everyday imaginary

    Robert Lawson-Peebles, Robert Lawson‐PeeblesARTICLEJazz Research Journal2020

    This article presents an alternative account of the initial reception of jazz in Britain. It suggests that jazz and the contemporaneous Russian Revolution were equally seen as the latest threats to indigenous British music and culture. The reminiscences of Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart in Russia initiate a discussion of early twentieth-century anthropology. A theory of primitivism is applied to Russian music, programmed from 1895 by Sir Henry Wood fo…

  • The American and British Debate over Equality, 1776-1920

    Open AccessRobert Lawson-Peebles, Robert Lawson‐peeble et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2019

    James L. Huston's previous work concerned the economic background of the Civil War, agrarianism, and nineteenth-century issues surrounding wealth distribution. His latest book has a polemic edge, derived from a reading of the French economist Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2013). Huston's aim is stated bluntly: to “compare the merits of equality and the vices of inequality” (p. 9). Any complexity to these words, according t…

  • The Genius of Place: The Geographic Imagination in the Early Republic

    Robert Lawson-Peebles, Robert Lawson‐peeble et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2016

    William Gilpin (1813–1894), the first governor of the Colorado Territory, believed that the physical geography of North America, bounded by mountain chains and bisected by the river system of the Mississippi Valley, had been deliberately shaped like a concave bowl to encourage Americans to “subdue the continent.” It would, he concluded, “teach old nations a new civilization” (Mission of the North American People, 1873, p. 124). This is not a new …

  • Fenimore Cooper’s Frontier Comforts

    Robert Lawson-Peebles, Robert Lawson‐PeeblesARTICLERevue française d’études…1991

    On envisagera ici comment se réalise, chez Cooper, la fusion entre nature et culture, comment se mêlent l'héritage esthétique de l'Europe et l'environnement sauvage du Nouveau Monde. Le besoin d'une correspondance entre les conforts domestiques et les harmonies de la nature est visible dans tous les grands romans de Cooper, mais il reste le plus souvent inassouvi. Ce sont, en effet, pour la plupart, des récits de concupiscence et de transgression…
