Description:
This is the first book to cover the history of British Liberalism from its founding doctrines in the later 18th century to the final dissolution of the Liberal party into the Liberal Democrats in 1988. While the party dominated British politics for much of the later 19th century under Gladstone, after the resignation of Lloyd George in 1922 the Liberal Party never held office again. The decline remains a unique phenomenon in British politics and Alan Sykes illuminates its dramatic circumstances in the study.
