A study of one of the most intense and formative periods of modern
political history. The years 1899-1914 witnessed a fundamental
challenge to many Victorian values and institutions: Free Trade,
the new Poor Law, the House of Lords, the Irish Union - all were
under attack, while organized labour and the feminist movement
displayed an unprecedented assertiveness and aggression. Drawing on
a variety of sources, this work examines what made these years the
most politically turbulent between the Chartist era and today. It
emphasizes the long shadow cast by the South African War, and the
challenges to national identity posed by imperialism and by the
Irish nationalist movement. Consideration is also given to the 1906
Liberal landslide victory and the way in which this aroused
expectations that could not always be fulfilled. The author offers
his own perspectives on the leading figures of the day -
Chamberlain, Balfour, Lloyd George, Asquith and Churchill. While
the emphasis of the book is on political thought, the author also
sets his discussion within the broader context of social and
economic change. This study is designed for A' level and
undergraduate students of Edwardian history. -- .
