The Life and Times of J. Neville Keynes: A Beacon in the Tempest
基于J. Neville Keynes的日记，揭示1870-1920年代剑桥学术生活，特别是Marshall推动经济学荣誉学位考试设立及与Foxwell关于Pigou继任的冲突，对经济史学者有参考价值。
The diaries of John Neville Keynes have been plundered by many historians for their insights into Cambridge academic life from the 1870s to the 1920s, especially in respect of Alfred Marshall's tenure of the Chair of Political Economy from 1885, the relentless campaign on the part of Marshall to establish the Economics Tripos, and the grand falling out with Foxwell over Pigou's succession to the Chair. Keynes was Maynard's father of course, and the author of Scope of Method of Political Economy (1891), the first systematic appraisal of economic method published in English and the forerunner of Robbins’Essay on Nature and Significance of Economic Science (1932). His previous book had been his Studies and Exercises in Formal Logic (1884), a comprehensive textbook worked up from his lectures for the Moral Sciences Tripos. So far as economists are concerned, there then followed decades of silence – although he died in November 1949, outliving his first son by more than three years.
