The Strange Survival of Liberal England
It is often assumed that politicians are swept along by global forces
and influences, without the power – or the desire – to shape events. By
contrast, this book is concerned with the way that cultural values, indi-
vidual moral sentiments and politicians’ interpretation of economic and
other imperatives have helped to shape political values. Focusing on the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and containing contributions by a
series of prominent scholars, themes are developed through essays on
recognisably important events and figures. Subjects include the policy
ideas of W. E. Gladstone, Woodrow Wilson’s support for war in 1916
and Ramsay MacDonald’s role in the 1931 crisis. Other essays exam-
ine the way that Keynesian ideas were understood and used across the
party spectrum, and beyond Britain itself, or reflect on the relation-
ship between ideas, values and politics. This volume also celebrates and
represents an approach to historical writing which has received little
attention from scholars.
