'I am most impressed. I think that the introduction is admirably
comprehensive, and very up-to-date in its range of reference. The
detailed editing of extracts is not too instrusively explanatory
(as this inhibits their use as teaching material) but in its
provision of biographical and other notes is a model of its kind'
- Professor Christopher Harvie, author of "The Lights of Liberalism
The five pieces reprinted here are part of the vibrant polemical
literature of liberalism in the last four decades of the nineteenth
century. They illustrate a creed whose adherents were acutely aware
of its recent achievements and further potential in shaping British
society and politics. The dynamic, highly reflective nature of
British liberalism in this period is already familiar through
substantial texts such as Mill's "Subjection of Women (1869) and
Spencer's "The Man Versus the State (1884). However, many works on
a smaller scale were also important in defining the contours of
liberal thought when the political fortunes of liberalism were at
their height. This volume represents a sample of such writings. It
will be of interest to scholars and advanced undergraduates
studying liberalism and English political thought and history.
--illustrates the significant liberal debate that took place during
this period through short articles rather than the well-known
larger works like Stephen's "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity
--includes two items never before reprinted
--a good first entry point - these are short, accessible writings
that were aimed at the educated general reader
