Scott, Paul (Mark) (sh) and New Nationalism (sh)


Scott, Paul (Mark) (sh)




born March 25, 1920, Palmers Green, Eng.
died March 1, 1978, London

British novelist.

Scott entered military service in India in the 1940s and later was a director of a London literary agency; he resigned in 1960 to write full-time. He is known for works chronicling the decline of the British occupation of India, notably The Raj Quartet
consisting of The Jewel in the Crown (1966), The Day of the Scorpion (1968), The Towers of Silence (1971), and A Division of the Spoils (1975)
and Staying On (1977, Booker Prize). All his works, including those set outside India, employ Indian themes or characters.


New Nationalism (sh)




American political policy espoused by Theodore Roosevelt.

Influenced by Herbert Croly's The Promise of American Life (1910), Roosevelt used the phrase in a speech in which he tried to reconcile the liberal and conservative wings of the Republican Party. New Nationalism called for federal intervention to promote social justice and the economic welfare of the underprivileged. In 1912, as the presidential candidate of the Progressive Party, Roosevelt ran unsuccessfully on a platform based on the precepts of New Nationalism. See also Robert La Follette.
