A talk on the background to the current upsurge of Scottish, nationalism by IAN GRIMBLE
Mr. Grimble argues that the disintegration of empires-sometimes called the collapse of civilisation -need not always be regarded as a return to tribal barbarism. He discusses the fates of the Basques and Finns for the light they shed on the varying fortunes of Home Rule movements in the British Isles. His thoughts are prompted by a recent book on John O'Leary, the nineteenth-century
Irish separatist.
