Flamboyant, cultured and refined, aristocracy is often seen as a
national treasure. Lords of Misrule takes a different view and
considers the role of an aristocracy behaving badly. This is a book
about the political, social and moral failings of aristocracy and
the ways in which they have featured in political rhetoric. Drawing
on the views of critics of aristocracy, it explores the dark side
of power without responsibility. Less 'patrician paragons' than
dissolute and debauched debtors, the aristocrats featured here
undermined, rather than augmented, the fabric of national life. For
the first time, Lords of Misrule recaptures the views of those
radicals and reformers who were prepared to contemplate a Britain
without aristocrats.
