Timeline

Edmund Fawcett is a British political journalist and author.

Fawcett is the son of the human rights lawyer and international law professor James Fawcett, brother of the artist Charlotte Johnson Wahl, and maternal uncle of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, journalist Rachel Johnson, and politician Jo Johnson.

1936

He is married to Natalia Jiménez, granddaughter of Alberto Jiménez Fraud, the Spanish liberal and founding director of the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid, who left Spain as a political refugee in 1936.

He worked in London as an editor at New Left Books (now Verso) and in San Francisco as a free-lance editor for Straightarrow Press, the books arm of Rolling Stone.

1970

In the United States, he travelled widely, followed three presidential campaigns and wrote about the decline of detente in the late 1970s together with the rise of Reaganism.

His frequent book reviews have appeared in The New York Times, Guardian and New Statesman, Times Literary Supplement and Political Quarterly.

1973

He then worked at The Economist (1973–2003) as chief correspondent in Washington, Paris, Berlin and Brussels, as well as European and literary editor.

In a long career covering international politics, he wrote about the growth of the European Union, democratisation in Spain, Portugal and Greece, the end of the Cold War, new hopes for the United Nations, Germany's unification and the wars in ex-Yugoslavia.

1981

Fawcett's book, The American Condition, written with a fellow journalist, Tony Thomas, came out in 1981.

It was published in Britain as America, Americans.

Fawcett also writes for Aeon, openDemocracy, Salon, and other websites.

2014

His book Liberalism: The Life of an Idea was published in 2014, with an updated, expanded second edition in 2018.

Fawcett argues that liberalism is a "modern practice of politics" with a specific history, rather than a fixed and unchanging philosophy.

He has described himself as a 'left-liberal or liberal leftist'.

2020

A companion volume, Conservatism: The Fight for a Tradition was published in 2020, also by Princeton University Press.

It offers a fresh and sharp-eyed history of political conservatism from its nineteenth-century origins as opponent of liberalism and democracy to today's hard Right.

The historian Peter Clarke in the Financial Times called Liberalism (2nd edition) "a liberal history, well-founded in its scholarship and also accessibly expounded".

The Guardian praised Liberalism as a "remarkable book", and "a helpful characterisation of liberalism".

The Wall Street Journal called the book a "fine work of intellectual history".

Jack Macleod, writing in the journal Victorian Studies, said the book "makes a major contribution to our understanding of a concept that, for two centuries, has been central to Western political and cultural thought".

Of Conservatism: The Fight for a Tradition, Nick Pearce in the Financial Times said, "The chief virtue of Fawcett’s rich and wide-ranging account is to demonstrate how conservatism has repeatedly managed to renew itself, politically and intellectually. The conservative tradition is a remarkably fecund one. For both its supporters and opponents, that is a truth worth rescuing."

The Wall Street Journal wrote: "With an even hand and historically informed eye, [Fawcett] faces our divided political scene as it is while going back directly to the figures—the classical liberal thinkers of the past and the lapidary upholders of tradition—who helped erect the two poles. The result is that increasingly rare thing: intellectual history in the service of understanding, not ax-grinding."

John Prideaux in The Economist called the book "an epic history of conservatism."
