This edited collection brings together over 550 documents relating
to the foreign policy of the British Conservative governments
formed in 1852, 1858, 1866 and 1874. Produced by key policy-makers
such as Benjamin Disraeli and successive earls of Derby, they
consider the major issues of the day, including the declaration of
the French Second Empire, the wars of Italian Unification, the
Austro-Prussian war and the great Eastern crisis of 1874-8. Despite
the huge impact of these events, this is the first collection of
primary material entirely devoted to the foreign policy of these
governments. These documents permit a fuller understanding of
mid-Victorian Britain's window on the world, as well as a thorough
reappraisal of the dramatic clash between Disraeli and his Foreign
Secretary, the fifteenth Earl of Derby. Recent renewed interest in
this period among historians makes this publication a timely one.
