The 'Land Question' occupied a central place in political and
cultural debates in Britain for nearly two centuries. From
parliamentary enclosure in the mid-eighteenth century to the fierce
Labour party debate concerning the nationalisation of land after
World War II, the fate of the land held the power to galvanize the
attention of the nation.
This collection of essays deals with the political life of London,
supplying a radical new focus for the interpretation of
nineteenth-century British political history. Ranging across
Whiggery, popular Radicalism, Toryism, Freethought, working-class
politics, and Imperialism, it brings together the worlds of high
politics and low in a century when successive reforms of parliament
constantly changed the relationship between the two. Examining the
interactions between Conservatives, radicals, and liberals, it
seeks to establish the rhythms of metropolitan political agitation,
unearth the peculiar culture of electoral activity there, and
demonstrate the unique dimension revealed by a capital-centered
approach to nineteenth century politics.
