FOREWORD

It is with great pleasure that I write a foreword to this valuable bibliography of Professor Hocart's writiogs. It is an important compilation because Hocart's influence on anthropology has been, and continues to be, through his books and papers rather than through oral teaching, for he held no formal post at a university till he occupied towards the end of his life the Chair (vacated by me) of Sociology at the Fuad I University of Cairo. Apart from this succession we had other things in common. We both became interested in anthropology as undergraduates at Exeter College, Oxford, an alma mater of anthropology in that university. Then we were both associated with Elliot Smith and Perry in the Department of Anthropology at University College London. Also we were both intensely interested in history.

Hocart was a fine scholar. Mter the first world war Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown had the limelight in British anthropology, but Hocart may prove in the long run to have exercised a comparable influence.

I may add, from a close personal knowledge of him, that he was a man of strong convictions and of intellectual integrity.

A. M. Hocart Was a remarkable man whosesch?lilrs~ipjperspicacity, and powers of intellectual stimulation have

been properly recognized. Fotmostno post in academic social anthtopologynrovided an institutional base for the ptopagation

and his historical and comparative preoccupa­tions were unfashionable in the heyday of functionalism.

English reflected in some degree the French modes ofthought and allusive discourse in which he was firsteducated, and he often Wrote in a terse and elliptical style

made uncustomaty demands on the imaginationand erudition of the reader. His ttenchanttheotetical

PREFACE

specialization, has led to a wider variety of theories. Pro­fessor Evans-Pritchard has written in his obituary noticethat 'Hocart's originality did not commend his theoriesto a very large body of students, but even those who moststrongly disagree with them are forced to acknowledgetheir brilliance'. These theories, in their literal accepta­tion, may not fare much better now than they did whenHocart propounded them, but their specific validity isnot their chief value. Students today, and especially thesubtler and more open-minded among them, readilyrespond to Hocart's sheer liveliness of mind, and to theradical cast which he imparted to even the most particularor esoteric of questions. The time seems ripe, therefore,to try to turn professional attention towards Hocart, and theobvious way to begin is to establish a list of everything thathe ever wrote. This is the aim of the present bibliography.

Whether or not the bibliography effects the desiredchange in the general estimation of Hocart, or contributesto'a more imaginative and fertile style of investigation insocial anthropology, it seems at least a scholarly service,as well as a token of respect to his memory, to publishsuch a list of his writings. It is also a necessary preliminaryto the possible publication of another collection of Hocart'spapers, similar to that compiled by his friend and congenerthe late Lord Raglan in The Life-Giving Myth (London,1952), and it could be of editorial assistance in any otherreissue of his work.

In spite of the protracted search involved, and theconscientious aid of those who have collaborated in it, thepresent list may not be complete, and while the majorityof the items have been inspected a few remained inaccessi­ble. Any additions or corrections would therefore bevery much appreciated.

BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION

Oxford, he worked in the Pacific. For some time he was amember of the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to theSolomons, as which be carried out research in closeassociation with W. H. R. Rivers, who is said to havefound him 'a disciple after his own heart'. He was also fora period headmaster of the native school at Lau, Fiji, andin 1912 he received a graduate research scholarship fromOxford for investigations in Fiji, Rotuma, Wallis Island,and Tonga.

He is reported to have deputized in 1915 for ProfessorW. McDougall, Wilde Reader in Mental Philosophy atOxford, but by this time the first world war had begun.From 1915 to 1919 he served in France with the Oxford­shire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, with the rankof captain, and was mentioned in despatches in 1917.

Mter the war he was appointed Archaeological Com­missioner for Ceylon, and was first sent back to Oxfordin order to study Sanskrit, Pali, Tamil, and Sinhalese,and then to India to examine Hindu and Buddhistmonuments and to learn the methods of conserving them.On January 24, 1921, he took up his post in Ceylon,where he found his department in poor condition. Hehad to work almost single-handed, but managed never­theless to carry out an energetic programme of exploration,registration, and publication. He put the results of hispredecessors' work into print, and also founded and editedthe Ceylon Journal of Science, Section G. He was 'pre­pared to undergo any hardship to accomplish the taskthat had been undertaken' but he taxed himself severelyand dysentery forced him to go on home leave in July1925. After his return to Ceylon he had a relapse, andwas ill and absent from duty from October 13, 1928, toJanuary 9, 1929. He was retired, as medically unfit to

BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION

serve, on September 11, 1929, and although he had notserved the legally minimum number of years he was givena government pension. In 1930 he married ElizabethGraham Hearn, who had nursed him during his illness.

In the next few years he was occupied with writingand with lecturing at University College London, wherehe was an honorary lecturer in ethnology and was associ­ated with G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry. For a time hewas secretary of the Royal Anthropological Institute.

In 1934 he was elected to the chair of sociology at theEgyptian University, Cairo, in succession to ProfessorE. E. Evans-Pritchard. In 1935 he was awarded the highdistinction of the Rivers Memorial Medal for his contri­butions to anthropology. At Cairo he was 'immenselypopular among his colleagues . . . and his stuents weredevoted to him'. He continued to publish, and heinitiated and carried out ethnographical investigations inEgypt, but he contracted an infection while doing researchin the Fayoum and died in March, 1939. His remains areburied in the British military cemetery at Cairo.

Those who knew him were to speak of his characterand abilities in the most impressive and convincing terms.Professor S. Paranavitana, a former colleague of Hocart'sin Ceylon, stressed his 'free and unbiassed mind', andcorrespondents have more recently recalled their admir­ation for his penetratingly analytical intelligence, hiserudition, and his warmth. He was a shy and withdrawnman, however, and Lord Raglan's opinion was that 'theabsence of that recognition to which his talents and hisattainments entitled him was due as much to his retiringdisposition as to the unorthodoxy of his views'. He mayperhaps best be remembered in the words of ProfessorEvans-Pritchard's tribute: 'Hocart was the ideal type of

15

BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION

scholar. He bore profound learning lightly .... He didnot acquire knowledge to advance himself, but becausehe had the true scientist's craving to understand thecauses of things ... All who knew Hocart were struck atonce with his entire freedom from any kind of pretentious­ness, a quality he detested, and with his intellectualintegrity and independence'.
