The English ideology is parliamentary. In this study, which first
appeared in 1973, George Watson shows how literary evidence, much
of it fictional, can illuminate the life of a great institution
like the British parliament. The book contains chapters on
political oratory and the parliamentary novel ' that uniquely
Victorian form ' which Disraeli created and in which Trollope
excelled. It is the first comprehensive attempt to use literary
evidence to expose the politics of a whole age. It expounds
nineteenth century controversies over democracy, class, race,
morality and empire ' a study of political language in the era when
modern politics was born.
