Sir Robert Peel dominated political life for more than two decades
and has been described as the 'founder of modern conservatism.'
This book analyzes the career of Sir Robert Peel in relation to the
development of the Conservative Party in the early 19th century. It
discusses Peel's conception of Conservatism, and his work as Prime
Minister.
This popular study covers two major topics: the formation of the
Labour Party and its emergence as the main rival to the
conservatives. This transformation of the British political scene
has been accounted for in a variety of ways. Dr Adelman examines
these explanations and concludes that while there is a consensus
about the reasons for the creation of the Labour Party there is no
agreement about why it rose to such prominence.

A major new edition of this introductory survey of the two main
political parties, from the rise of the Liberal Party under
Gladstone until the period of Conservative domination under
Salisbury in the late nineteenth century. As well as assessing the
impact of major political landmarks such as the Great Reform Acts,
it also describes the nineteenth century political scene.
Paul Adelman seeks to explain the Liberal Party's dramatic
transformation in political fortune. This clear, objective
up-to-date account of the history of the Liberal Party covers the
key period, 1910-1931. Focusing on liberal decline and drawing upon
the different views forwarded by historians to account for this
phenomenon, it discusses liberal decline before World War 1, the
impact of the war on the liberals and the divisions that grew in
the party after December 1916 between followers of Asquith and
Lloyd George. A number of general factors are also covered, the
impact of social and economic change, the effects of the Reform Act
of 1918 and the rise of the Labour party. An ideal text for A-level
and undergraduate students of history and politics.
