Abstract

MUCH attention has been given in recent years to the geographical background of history, and particularly of British history, and it is well realized how strong an influence the geography of the British Isles has had on their story from primitive times onwards. It may be, however, that the influence of geographical features in retaining continuity of development in each region from time immemorial has not always been emphasized sufficiently. This is the theme that Prof. Fleure has taken for his Frazer Lecture, wishing, as he says, "to bring out in some measure the deep roots of our country‘s life in a far off past and the continuity from those times to the present". Some Aspects of British Civilization By Prof. H. J. Fleure. (The Frazer Lecture, 1947.) Pp. 32. (Oxford: Clarendon Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1948.) 2s. 6d. net.
