The Transformation of Urban Liberalism (eBook, ePUB)

Party Politics and Urban Governance in Late Nineteenth-Century England

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Transformation of Urban Liberalism re-evaluates the dramatic and turbulent political decade following the 'Third Reform Act', and questions whether the Liberal Party's political heartlands - the urban boroughs - really were in decline. In contrast to some recent studies, it does not see electoral reform, the Irish Home Rule crisis and the challenge of socialism as representing a fundamental threat to the integrity of the party.
