Journalists for Empire: The Imperial Debate in the Edwardian Stately Press, 1903-1913
Between 1903 and 1913, an extensive public debate played itself out in the British press involving the self-governing dominions of the Empire. The debate centered on three large topics—tariff reform, South African reconstruction, and imperial unity—and saw the participation of some of the most respected figures in Edwardian jourbanalism. This book presents a thorough discussion of the involvement of these renowned jourbanalists and the quality press in this debate, examining Edwardian imperial thought as it was reflected in their work. In addition, the quality of their political jourbanalism is evaluated, particularly in regard to its enduring value.
The book begins with several introductory chapters, including sections on the jourbanalists James Louis Garvin, John St. Loe Strachey, and John Alfred Spender. The three imperial issues are then fully detailed in light of serious jourbanalistic opinion regarding them. These chapters help to underscore the perceptions informed publicists had about the Empire in general and its future, and to trace the development of thought concerning dominion relations, press opinion about South African reconstruction, and the Tariff Reform vs. Free Trade debate. Among the other topics addressed are the role of the quality press in Edwardian public debate, the attitude toward imperialism following the Boer War, and the strength of the public press in Edwardian political jourbanalism. The book concludes with a chapter that places the entire subject in a broader, 20th-century framework. This book will be a valuable addition to public, college, and university libraries, as well as a useful resource for courses in British history and the history of jourbanalism.
