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
perspicacity, and powers of intellectual stimulation have
been properly recognized. Fotmost
no post in academic social anthtopology
nrovided an institutional base for the ptopagation
and his historical and comparative preoccupa-
tions were unfashionable in the heyday of functionalism.
English reflected in some degree the French modes of
thought and allusive discourse in which he was first
educated, and he often Wrote in a terse and elliptical style
made uncustomaty demands on the imagination
and erudition of the reader. His ttenchanttheotetical
moreover, wereoftenunc?nventional to the .. point
they seemed to court immediate rejection.
ate /indicatioDS, >however, that ideological
developments in social ahthropology are veering ina
a fresh
the result of
of the Annee
subject associated primarily with the names
Radcliffe-Brown and Malinowski. At any rate, there
appears to exist more liberal intellectual
attitude than prevailed between the wars, and the rapid
expansion of the discipline, together with the concomitant
9

PREFACE
specialization, has led to a wider variety of theories. Pro-
fessor Evans-Pritchard has written in his obituary notice
that 'Hocart's originality did not commend his theories
to a very large body of students, but even those who most
strongly disagree with them are forced to acknowledge
their brilliance'. These theories, in their literal accepta-
tion, may not fare much better now than they did when
Hocart propounded them, but their specific validity is
not their chief value. Students today, and especially the
subtler and more open-minded among them, readily
respond to Hocart's sheer liveliness of mind, and to the
radical cast which he imparted to even the most particular
or esoteric of questions. The time seems ripe, therefore,
to try to turn professional attention towards Hocart, and the
obvious way to begin is to establish a list of everything that
he ever wrote. This is the aim of the present bibliography.
Whether or not the bibliography effects the desired
change in the general estimation of Hocart, or contributes
to' a more imaginative and fertile style of investigation in
social anthropology, it seems at least a scholarly service,
as well as a token of respect to his memory, to publish
such a list of his writings. It is also a necessary preliminary
to the possible publication of another collection of Hocart's
papers, similar to that compiled by his friend and congener
the late Lord Raglan in The Life-Giving Myth (London,
1952), and it could be of editorial assistance in any other
reissue of his work.
In spite of the protracted search involved, and the
conscientious aid of those who have collaborated in it, the
present list may not be complete, and while the majority
of the items have been inspected a few remained inaccessi-
ble. Any additions or corrections would therefore be
very much appreciated.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
When the preparation of this bibliography was under-
taken, an appeal was published in Man (vol. 64, 1964, pp.
91-2, art. 106) for help in making it as nearly complete as
possible.
The following kindly responded with particulars of
various items, and are warmly thanked for their effective
interest: Professor E. E. Evans-Pritchard, Professor
Murray Groves, Professor J. H. Hutton, Professor E. 0.
James, Mr. C. E. Joel, M. J. P. Latouche, Dr. D. Piu, the
late Lord Raglan, Dr. H. W. Schefller, and Mr. J. W.
Scott.
Substantial assistance was received from the following,
and a considerable part of the value of the bibliography
derives from their generous co-operation: Mr. D. T.
Devendra, Colombo; Mr. Lyn de Fonseka, Librarian,
National Museum, Colombo; Mr. J. D. Pearson, Lib-
rarian, School of Oriental and Mrican Studies, University
of London; and Miss GiIlian Ryan, Manuscripts Lib-
rarian, The Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington,
New Zealand.
Advantage has also gratefully been taken of biblio-
graphical aids compiled by Mrs. Margaret Sloss, some-
time Librarian, Institute of Social Anthropology, Univer-
sity of Oxford, and of Mr. C. R. H. Taylor's invaluable
work, A Pacific Bibliography (second edition; Clarendon
Press, Oxford, 1965).
The portrait photograph of Hocart was made by
Payne Jenkins, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in July 1930.

BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION
Oxford, he worked in the Pacific. For some time he was a
member of the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to the
Solomons, as which be carried out research in close
association with W. H. R. Rivers, who is said to have
found him 'a disciple after his own heart'. He was also for
a period headmaster of the native school at Lau, Fiji, and
in 1912 he received a graduate research scholarship from
Oxford for investigations in Fiji, Rotuma, Wallis Island,
and Tonga.
He is reported to have deputized in 1915 for Professor
W. McDougall, Wilde Reader in Mental Philosophy at
Oxford, but by this time the first world war had begun.
From 1915 to 1919 he served in France with the Oxford-
shire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, with the rank
of captain, and was mentioned in despatches in 1917.
Mter the war he was appointed Archaeological Com-
missioner for Ceylon, and was first sent back to Oxford
in order to study Sanskrit, Pali, Tamil, and Sinhalese,
and then to India to examine Hindu and Buddhist
monuments 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. He
had to work almost single-handed, but managed never-
theless to carry out an energetic programme of exploration,
registration, and publication. He put the results of his
predecessors' work into print, and also founded and edited
the Ceylon Journal of Science, Section G. He was 'pre-
pared to undergo any hardship to accomplish the task
that had been undertaken' but he taxed himself severely
and dysentery forced him to go on home leave in July
1925. After his return to Ceylon he had a relapse, and
was ill and absent from duty from October 13, 1928, to
January 9, 1929. He was retired, as medically unfit to
14
,
BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION
serve, on September 11, 1929, and although he had not
served the legally minimum number of years he was given
a government pension. In 1930 he married Elizabeth
Graham Hearn, who had nursed him during his illness.
In the next few years he was occupied with writing
and with lecturing at University College London, where
he was an honorary lecturer in ethnology and was associ-
ated with G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry. For a time he
was secretary of the Royal Anthropological Institute.
In 1934 he was elected to the chair of sociology at the
Egyptian University, Cairo, in succession to Professor
E. E. Evans-Pritchard. In 1935 he was awarded the high
distinction of the Rivers Memorial Medal for his contri-
butions to anthropology. At Cairo he was 'immensely
popular among his colleagues . . . and his stuents were
devoted to him'. He continued to publish, and he
initiated and carried out ethnographical investigations in
Egypt, but he contracted an infection while doing research
in the Fayoum and died in March, 1939. His remains are
buried in the British military cemetery at Cairo.
Those who knew him were to speak of his character
and abilities in the most impressive and convincing terms.
Professor S. Paranavitana, a former colleague of Hocart's
in Ceylon, stressed his 'free and unbiassed mind', and
correspondents have more recently recalled their admir-
ation for his penetratingly analytical intelligence, his
erudition, and his warmth. He was a shy and withdrawn
man, however, and Lord Raglan's opinion was that 'the
absence of that recognition to which his talents and his
attainments entitled him was due as much to his retiring
disposition as to the unorthodoxy of his views'. He may
perhaps best be remembered in the words of Professor
Evans-Pritchard's tribute: 'Hocart was the ideal type of
15
BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION
scholar. He bore profound learning lightly .... He did
not acquire knowledge to advance himself, but because
he had the true scientist's craving to understand the
causes of things ... All who knew Hocart were struck at
once with his entire freedom from any kind of pretentious-
ness, a quality he detested, and with his intellectual
integrity and independence'.

THE BIBLIOGRAPHY
The bibliography comprises two lists:
(1) published writings, and (2) ethnographical
materials.
The printed works are ordered initially by
year of publication; the items are distinguished
by serial numbers. Within each year mono-
graphs and contributions to symposia are placed
first; articles, reviews, and letters are arranged
under the titles of the journals in which they
appeared, these being in alphabetical order, and
the items in them are listed chronologically.
The ethnographical materials are in the
collection of Hocart papers (shelfmark: MS
Papers 60) held by the Alexander Turnbull
Library, Wellington, New Zealand. A prelim-
inary listing has been published by the former
Chief Librarian, Mr. C. R. H. Taylor: 'The
Hocart Papers in the Turnbull Library', Journal
of the Polynesian Society, vol. 59, 1950, pp. 269-
72, with a photograph of Hocart facing p. 269.
The items represented here are the ethno-
graphical contents of the collection, as listed for
the present purpose by the Manuscripts Librar-
ian, Miss Gillian Ryan. The remainder of the
17
THE BIBLIOGRAPHY
TurnbuIl holdings, e.g., letters to Hocart, school-
boys' essays, etc., are not included here but are
to be found in Taylor's list. Some of the ethno-
graphical items bear numbers, as indicated in the
descriptions, which make it seem that it had been
intended to bring them together into a book.
