John Stuart Mill described the Conservatives as 'the stupidest
party', yet they governed the UK for nearly three-quarters of the
twentieth century. Conservative leaders typically have been and are
explicitly anti-intellectual, yet the party is not without an
intellectual history of its own. Ideologies of Conservatism charts
developments and changes in the nature of Conservative political
thought and the meaning of Conservatism throughout the twentieth
century. Ewen Green's penetrating study explores the Conservative
mind from the Edwardian crisis under Balfour to the Thatcherite
1980s and beyond. It examines how Conservative thinkers,
politicians, and activists sought to define the problems they
faced, what they thought they were arguing against, and what
audiences they were seeking to reach. This is the only study which
blends the history of Conservative thought with the party's
political action, and it offers significant new insights into the
political culture of the 'Conservative Century'.
