Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume contains essays on high politics, popular politics, social developments, the economic situation, foreign policy, religion, Imperial questions and Scotland and Ireland. The inclusion of a chapter on popular politics and the broadbased nature of that on society ensures that an elitist view is avoided, though due weight is given to the world of Westminster and Whitehall. Also significant is the attention paid to Scotland and Ireland which avoids a simple Anglocentric perspective.
