Talk by J. Steven Watson
Lecturer in Modern History at Christ Church. Oxford
Sir Lewis Namier is an exceptional and in many ways a heroic figure in the company of modern English historians. In the study of the English eighteenth century, in particular, he has brought new light and a new method by returning from grandiose theories to . primitive inelegant facts.' Mr. Watson speaks of this influence on the occasion of Sir Lewis Namier 's birthday.
