Series: Edinburgh Studies in Anglo-American Relations

This series of original case studies, focusing on the proceedings and wider diplomatic significance of lavish banquets held across the period at iconic New York and London hotels like the Waldorf-Astoria and the Savoy, provides unique insights into the Pilgrims Society's activities. Stephan Bowman challenges existing orthodoxies about the origins of public diplomacy and shows that it was only through the earlier work of semi-official organisations like the Pilgrims Society operating within a state-private nexus that greater governmental involvement in public diplomacy was legitimised.

"An absolutely first-rate account of one of the most influential advocacy groups ever in the transatlantic world.

Haglund, Queen's University, Canada Bowman delves behind the scenes to uncover how the Anglo-American relationship was forged, utilizing a wealth of previously untapped materials. Clearly written, highly accessible, it adds significant depth to our understanding of the complex nature of trans-Atlantic networks.--Erik Goldstein, Boston University"
