This accessible new study provides a much-needed guide to the
pivotal period of British history between 1910 and 1935, against
the background of upheavals such as the First World War and the
transition to full democracy as a consequence of the Reform Acts of
1918 and 1928. Combining an up-to-date synthesis of previous work
with a re-appraisal of the main personalities, themes and events of
the period, David Powell brings clarity to this crucial yet complex
period.
Examining British politics on the eve of war, the author assesses
the impact of war on the parties and the political system and the
process of realignment that followed in the interwar period. In
particular he analyses to what extent these events as a whole
constituted a crisis of the party system.
From the structure of the Edwardian political system and the party
politics of pre-war Britain, through to the economic and political
crisis of 1931 and the subsequent rebuilding of the party system,
this comprehensive analysisoffers an indispensable survey to all
students of British history or politics.
