From WIkipedia: "George Sidney Roberts Kitson Clark (1900 1975) was an English historian, a specialist in the nineteenth century....He is known as a revisionist historian of the Repeal of the Corn Laws. G. D. H. Cole identified a "Kitson Clark" school of historians revising the assessment of the Anti-Corn Law League and the Chartists. He was educated at Shrewsbury School and Trinity College, Cambridge. He lived the life of a bachelor don as Fellow of Trinity, from 1922 to 1975. He was Reader in Constitutional History from 1954 to 1967. Jack Plumb, who disliked Kitson Clark, describes him as a reformer of the History Tripos, and obstacle to Lewis Namier, with various swipes." From an internet posting "The published lecture, a medium in which Kitson Clark specialised, is a different form of writing from an academic article or a book. In its concern to communicate with a listening, rather than primarily a reading, audience it is something of a return to the style of Roman writers like Tacitus and Suetonius. To a greater degree than in a book, the author is persuading the audience, winning them over to his or her own interpretation." Condition: Good. Cover has some wear and soiling.
