This reassessment of the role of the aristocratic Whigs in the
Liberal Party of the 1870s and 1880s studies the largely neglected
Whig leadership of Granville and Hartington (1875-80), the
leadership crisis of 1879-80, and the strategies of both front and
back bench Whigs following Gladstone's return to power in 1880.
Traditionally the Whigs have been dismissed as a recalcitrant and
increasingly marginal element in an age characterized by
`Gladstonian' Liberalism. Dr Jenkin's aim is to restore `Whiggery'
to a position of significance in Liberal politics and, in the
process, to re-examine Gladstone's leadership and the role played
by Radicals such as Joseph Chamberlain in the years leading up to
the Home Rule crisis of 1886. In asserting the central importance
of the Irish Question to the split in the Liberal Party, the book
rejects previous interpretations of the schism as merely the result
of class divisions, or the result of cynical manoeuvring for
personal advantage by ambitious politicians. The book is based on
the author's thesis, which has been awarded the University of
Cambridge's Prince Consort Prize for 1988.
