Mill and Liberalism was first published in 1963. Initial reactions
varied from the uncomprehending to the splenetic. In the
intervening quarter-century the intellectual climate has changed as
reflected by its greatest exemplar, to warrant fresh consideration.
Unlike many commentators, before or subsequently, Maurice Cowling
endeavours to view Mill's thought as a coherent whole with a
specific proselytising purpose, geared to the emasculation of
Christianity and its replacement by a libertarian public doctrine.
This interpretation aroused much contemporary hostility, and in a
new introduction Cowling locates Mill and Liberalism within the
broader intellectual history of post-war Britain, looking at the
various strands of the 'new Right' and relating the academic to
more specifically journalistic or political manifestations.
