The Strange Death of Liberal England
Review:
" The book is as vital, if not more so, as when it was first published. . . . While hundreds of academic monographs have been forgotten, "The Strange Death of Liberal England" continues as a major influence on how the period is viewed, and scholars and teachers spend considerable energy in coming to terms with the picture of England, in all its richness and complexity, presented in the book. . . . The interpretation will not die; no matter how often it may be knocked on the head, it has shaped the way the period is viewed. With its extraordinary literate and witty prose, its power of description and analysis . . . it is a study that will always have to be taken into account. There can be few works that are so alive after so many years, as likely to survive, or as enjoyable to read." "-- From the Foreword"
