IN MEMORIAM

David Cresap Moore, historian of nineteenth-century
British political institutions, died December 27, 2001 at
the age of 75. Cresap was a long-time CES affiliate and
an active participant in the British Study Group, after
coming to Harvard from UCLA in 1981. His many
important contributions to nineteenth-century British history
began in 1961 with a famous revisionist article,
"The Other Face of Reform" in Victorian Studies challenging
the conventional view that the Reform Act of 1832 undermined
the political ascendancy of landed interests. Using pioneering
analyses of pollbooks, he developed this and other themes
in many articles and his major work, The Politics of Deference
(1976). Cresap was a passionate and skillful teacher
and a dedicated mentor to graduate students.
His warmth and wise observations about British history
and politics will be missed at CES

He is survived by his wife, Harvard anthropologist
and legal scholar, Sally Falk Moore, and by their two
daughters, Penelope and Nicola.
