This book examines the legacy of philosophical idealism in
twentieth century British historical and political thought. It
demonstrates that the absolute idealism of the nineteenth century
was radically transformed by R.G. Collingwood, Michael Oakeshott,
and Benedetto Croce. These new idealists developed a new philosophy
of history with an emphasis on the study of human agency, and
historicist humanism. This study unearths the impact of the new
idealism on the thought of a group of prominent revisionist
historians in the welfare state period, focusing on E.H. Carr,
Isaiah Berlin, G.R. Elton, Peter Laslett, and George Kitson Clark.
It shows that these historians used the new idealism to restate the
nature of history and to revise modern English history against the
backdrop of the intellectual, social and political problems of the
welfare state period, thus making new idealist revisionism a key
tradition in early postwar historiography.
