Gladstone's second ministry was one of failure and frustration.
Even Liberal apologists and the party faithful could find little
more than the Reform Act to offset the record of disasters abroad
or the disruption of Irishmen at home. For some it was sufficient,
and 1884 was a landmark comparable to 1689. But this book is not a
chronicle of electoral revolution; rather, it traces the purposes
of politicians through those months when legislative activity was
concentrated on Franchise and Redistribution. Light is shed on
Gladstone's control over both Cabinet and Commons, on Salisbury's
emergence as party leader from Conservative chaos after Disraeli's
death, and on the anti-democratic nature of Parnell's party. The
essential argument is that the British political world of the 1880s
was a world unto itself. Dr Jones is concerned with the complex
political interaction of personalities and groupings in this select
society at a time of particular historical interest, when parties
were on the eve of their fracture and realignment over Home Rule.
