This book closes an obvious gap in nineteenth-century
historiography by carefully analysing British policy and public
opinion with regard to the Schleswig-Holstein problem from 1848 to
1864. Solidly based on a study of private and public
correspondence, memoirs, biographies, newspapers, periodicals,
sessional papers, foreign office documents, and parliamentary
debates, it argues that the failure of British policy was due to
division and uncertainty of opinion. Britain vacillated between a
pliant and a defiant course and eventually chose to worst features
of both. Professor Sandiford demonstrates that the failure of
Russell's Schleswig-Holstein diplomacy in 1864 was largely the
result of a long sequence of British miscalculations dating back at
least to 1848. He also shows that the general bewilderment, both
within and outside the British Parliament, permitted the queen and
a handful of her ministers to exert more influence on Britain's
policy in 1863-4 than has previously been supposed.
