This collection of research explores the relationship between the
Conservative party and British society since 1880 by focusing on
the key themes of ideology, national identity, gender and policy.
The focus of the text is not so much on the Conservative party as
an institution, as on the party's wider significance in British
political culture. It seeks to explain the Conservatives
extraordinary electoral success in this period and asserts that
this success was both problematic and historically contingent. Part
one of this study addresses the question of conservative ideology;
part two analyzes the role of national identity in Conservative
discourse and policy; part three assesses how Conservatives
negotiated the gendered nature of popular politics both before and
after the arrival of the equal franchise, and part four examines
how Conservative understanding of the relationship between state
and society were translated into specific aspects of social and
economic policy.
