Book Description
Excerpt from John Bright and the Party of Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform This Volume is not, in the ordinary sense of the term, a biography. Mr. Bright's life has been comparatively uneventful, so far as the general public is concerned in knowing or inquiring into it; and the reasons which in any case impose silence or reserve upon one who traces the career of an eminent man during his lifetime apply with special force in this instance. In the House of Commons and on the platform Mr. Bright has freely lifted the veil from his thoughts, his motives of action, his political and even his religious belief, so that as a statesman and orator we seem to know him better than any other man of the century. But beyond these limits he is less known; and it is his privilege to be so. He has been characteristically a man of the people - loving, as he said at the moment when he was invited to enter Mr. Gladstone's first Cabinet, to remain among his own people.

The British Peace Movement 1870-1914
Author: Paul LaityPublisher: Clarendon Press
ISBN: 0191554499
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This is the first detailed scholarly study of the late Victorian and Edwardian peace movement, the campaigns of which made a significant impact on political debate, especially during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1), the Bulgarian Atrocities campaign (1876-8), Britain's conflict in Egypt (1882), the South African War (1899-1902), and the intensifying international crisis before 1914. The movement's activists included Richard Cobden, Herbert Spencer, Keir Hardie, J. A. Hobson, and Norman Angell. Among the first to benefit from the opening of the Peace Society Archive, the book focuses on the specialized associations at the heart of the peace movement. Paul Laity identifies the existence of different programmes for the achievement of a just, permanent peace, and offers a new interpretation of the reaction of peace campaigners to war in 1914. At the same time, his book makes an important and original contribution to the history of popular politics and political ideas in Britain.

Liberty, Retrenchment and Reform
Author: Eugenio F. BiaginiPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521548861
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
In common with republicanism or socialism in continental Europe, Liberalism in nineteenth-century Britain was a mass movement. By focussing on the period between the 1860s and the 1880s, this book sets out to explain why and how that happened, and to examine the people who supported it, their beliefs, and the way in which the latter related to one another and to reality. Popular suport for the Liberal party was not irrational in either its objectives or its motivations: on the contrary, its dissemination was due to the fact that the programme of reforms proposed by the party leaders offered convincing solutions to some of the problems perceived as being the most urgent at the time. This is a revealing, innovative synthesis of the history of popular support for the Liberal party, which emphasises the extent to which Liberalism stood in the common heritage of European and American democracy.
