"""Twisting the lion's tail"": The persistence of anglophobia in American politics, 1921-1948"

Abstract

dc:description

In 1918 anglophobia, which for most of the 19th century had been a standard feature of the cultural life of the United States, made a stunning reappearance in American political discourse. Anti-British invective, whether directed against the empire, the monarchy, the aristocracy, or even against Americans suspected of harboring pro-English sympathies, would remain an important determinant of U.S. foreign policy well into the 1940s. It is the purpose of this dissertation to examine the causes and consequences of this phenomenon.
