The Crisis of Conservatism: The Politics, Economics and Ideology of the British Conservative Party, 1880-1914

The Crisis of Conservatism 1880-1914 offers a new interpretation of Conservative politics in the period 1880-1914 and comes to the startling conclusion that, but for the intervention of the First World War, there may well have been a ’Strange Death of Tory England.’

E.H.H. Green is Fellow and Tutor in Modem History at Magdalen College, Oxford. The Crisis of Conservatism was shortlisted for the Longman/History Today Book of the Year award.
