Banker, Traitor, Scapegoat, Spy?: The Troublesome Case of Sir Edgar Speyer: An Episode of The Great War - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Sir Edgar Speyer was a conspicuous figure in the financial, cultural, social and political life of Edwardian London. Head of the syndicate which financed the construction of the deep tube lines and King of the Underground , he was also a connoisseur and active patron of the arts who rescued the Proms from collapse, enhanced the nation s musical and artistic life at his own expense and directed the funding of Captain Scott s Antarctic expeditions. Speyer and his wife, the concert violinist, Leonora Speyer lived in fabulously magnificent style. Early in the early summer of 1914 they stood at the peak of their success and celebrity in London society. Within weeks, on the outbreak of war, they became pariahs, objects of suspicion and aversion. Despite having been a naturalised British citizen for over 20 years and an ubiquitous public benefactor, Speyer found himself ostracised by society and mercilessly harried by the Northcliffe press. Under the Aliens Act of 1918, Speyer was summoned in 1921 before a judicial enquiry which found him guilty of disloyalty and disaffection and of communicating and trading with the enemy. He was stripped of his citizenship and membership of the Privy Council. Pilloried by The Times as a traitor, Speyer vehemently denied the charges, but he never returned to England thereafter and never forgot his ordeal.

Paperback. Etat : New. Sir Edgar Speyer (1862-1932) was a celebrated figure in the financial, cultural and political high life of Edwardian England. 'King of the London Underground' and friend of Liberal Prime Minister Asquith, he was a generous public benefactor, who rescued the Proms from disaster and directed the funding of Captain Scott's Antarctic expeditions. In 1914 Speyer stood at the peak of his fame.On the outbreak of the war, he became a pariah. Though a naturalised British citizen for over 20 years, his German parentage caused him to be ostracised by society and hounded out of the country by unscrupulous politicians and irresponsible Press. In 1921, under the newly enacted Aliens Act, he appeared before a judicial tribunal, which found him guilty of disloyalty and disaffection, and of communicating and trading with Germany in wartime. He was stripped of his citizenship and membership of the Privy Council.Traitor, spy or scapegoat for the Liberal Party? The Speyer case remains controversial: in the foreword, Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC sees Speyer as the victim of injustice, while other scholars do not doubt his pro-German sympathies. Professor Lentin provides a balanced analysis, using newly-released documents to give the first detailed account of the fall of Sir Edgar Speyer. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781908323118
