Britannia's Zealots, Volume I opens the first longitudinal study to
examine the Conservative Right from the late-19th century to the
present day. British Conservatism has always contained a
significant section fundamentally opposed to progressive reform. A
permanent minority in Parliament, dissident right-wing
Conservatives nevertheless had allies in the press and sympathy
among grassroots party members enabling them to create crises in
the media and at party meetings. N.C. Fleming charts the evolution
of reactionary politics from its preoccupation with the Protestant
constitution to its fixation with the prestige and strength of
Britain's global empire. He examines the overlooked ways in which
Conservative Right parliamentarians shaped their party's policies
and propaganda, in and out of office, and their relationships with
the press and ordinary activists. He seeks to demonstrate that this
influence could be circumscribing, and on occasion highly
disruptive, with consequences which remain relevant for today's
Conservative party. Britannia's Zealots, Volume I will be of great
interest to academics and students of British history, right-wing
politics, imperialism, and 20th-century history.
