THE CRISIS OF CONSERVATISM
The Crisis of Conservatism offers a powerful new interpretation of Conservative
party history in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It locates the
seeds of their electoral failure in their inability to manage transitions in the areas
of class, imperialism, economics, property, and the rise of socialism. The
startling conclusion reached by Green is that World War I effectively came to the
rescue of the party, which might otherwise have collapsed altogether.
Green draws on an impressive range of personal and public writings and
records. His argument has implications for the whole of British politics in the
late Victorian and Edwardian eras, and will be of interest to all historians and
students of the period.
E.H.H.Green is Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at Magdalen College,
Oxford. The Crisis of Conservatism was shortlisted for the Longman/ History
Today Book of the Year award.
