Introduction
Social anthropologist Geoffrey Gorer (1905–85) spent a decade
studying tribal culture before turning his attention to the mores of
the Americans, the Russians and, in particular, his fellow breed the
English. His wide-ranging career also included a long association with
his American peer Margaret Mead. The Archive of Gorer’s work
represents every phase of his constantly evolving enthusiasms and includes
much to complement the studies undertaken by Mass-Observation.
