Abstract
THIS book contains the latest of the well-known series of public lectures arranged by the History Department of King's College, London. “Edwardian England” may be said to include the first decade of the century, but there would be only a verbal incorrectness in extending it to the outbreak of the War. Edward VII's two main interests were society and foreign policy. With regard to these two aspects of public life in England, there really was an Edwardian period. But the same remark can scarcely be made of, for example, literature and science.
