The North American Conference on British Studies The Journal of British Studies, founded in 1961, is published by the Uni- versity of Chicago Press under the auspices of the North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS). It was the result of the imaginative generosity of a Trinity College alumnus, Frederick E. Hasler (Hon. LL.D. 1957), who contributed funds to the college for the specific purpose of establishing a learned periodical in the field of British history. The North American Conference on British Studies is a scholarly society affiliated with the American Historical Association and open to anyone in the United States and Canada interested in British civilization in its several as- pects: historical, archaeological, literary, artistic, political, and sociological. Its North American constituency comprises about eight hundred members drawn from the fifty states and ten provinces. Affiliated with the parent organi- zation are seven regional conferences (New England, Middle Atlantic, South, Midwest, Western, Pacific Coast, and Northwest) each having its own offices and programs and with a combined membership of more than two thousand. The Conference convenes at least once a year in the autumn, usually in joint session with one of its regional affiliates. It seeks to encourage the serious study of British history, literature, and politics, as well as allied subjects, and among the general reading public through meetings, book prizes, and association with likeminded organizations in North America and Britain and through its publication program. The Conference sponsors a wide variety of publications. Another journal, Albion, issued four times a year at Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, and sent to all members of the parent organization, includes articles, proceedings of all meetings, and book reviews. The Conference's newsletter, the British Studies Intelligencer also sent to members, is published at Georgetown University, and contains notices of meetings devoted to British studies, news of appointments, moves, and retirements, and notes on current publications and research in progress. Other publications appear periodically and will be noted at such times. Information about membership in the NACBS can be found on the copy- right page of this journal. terms of use, available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021937100022462 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

Its debates are helping us discover where the history field needs rethinking." —Natalie Zemon Davis "Past & Present owes some of its virtues (including a high if not quite impeccable standard of clear and nontechnical English prose) to ... its enthusiastic interdiscipli- narity, its consistent and often provocative interest in theory, and above all its ability to break through the conventional limitations of period, region, and approach." —THES (26 February 1993) Prize-winners!

Drawing on materials from posters to popular songs, from government reports to journalistic accounts, from memoirs and novels to diaries and letters, she offers a penetrating analysis of how gendered and sexualized depictions of wartime experiences compelled many Britons to seek in traditional gender arrangements the key to postwar order and security. " . . . a fascinating account of the impact of the First World War on interwar feminism Kent's narrative is compelling and immensely read- able. She offers a provocative interpretation of this important period." —Mary Poovey, author of Uneven Developments: The Ideological Work of Gender in Mid- Victorian England Cloth: $24.95 ISBN 0-691-03140-1 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS 41 WILLIAM ST., PRINCETON, NJ 08540 • ORDERS: 609-883-1759 • OR FROM YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP.
