The Conservative Party has been the dominant force in
twentieth-century British politics. On its own or as the
predominant partner in a coalition it has held power for more than
sixty years since 1900. Despite this it has been the most neglected
and misunderstood of all the main parties. This book is the first
systematic attempt to survey the history and politics of the
Conservative Party across the whole of the twentieth century from
the `Khaki' election of 1900 to John Major's victory of 1992 and
beyond. Traditional boundaries between history and political
science have been ignored, with each of the authoritative team of
contributors pursuing an important theme within three main areas;
the composition and structure of the Party; its ideas, policies and
actions in government; and its public image and sources of support
in the country. The essays are based upon new research, in
particular in the Conservative Party archives. Conservative Century
will be essential reading for both students and specialists, and it
offers a mine of fascinating information for anyone interested in
British politics.
