{"product_id":"the-strange-death-of-liberal-england-9780804729307","title":"The Strange Death of Liberal England","description":"At the beginning of the twentieth century England's empire spanned the globe, its economy was strong, and its political system seemed immune to the ills that inflicted so many other countries. After a resounding electoral triumph in 1906, the Liberals formed the government of the most powerful nation on earth, yet within a few years the House of Lords lost its absolute veto over legislation, the Home Rule crisis brought Ireland to the brink of civil war and led to an army mutiny, the campaign for woman's suffrage created widespread civil disorder and discredited the legal and penal systems, and an unprecedented wave of strikes swept the land. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a classic account, first published in 1935, of the dramatic upheaval and political change that overwhelmed England in the period 1910-1914. Few books of history retain their relevance and vitality after more than sixty years. \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Death of Liberal England\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most important books of the English past, a prime example that history can be abiding literature. As a portrait of England enmeshed in the turbulence of new movements, which often led to violence against the pieties of Liberal England--until it was overwhelmed by the greatest violence of all, World War I--this extraordinary book has continued to exert a powerful influence on the way historians have observed early twentieth-century England. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-78709\"\u003eGeorge Dangerfield\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.37w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804729307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804729301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS015000\"\u003eEurope | Great Britain | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe late George Dangerfield wrote widely on both English and American History; he received both the Pulitzer Prize and the Bancroft Prize for \u003ci\u003eThe Era of Good Feelings.\u003c\/i\u003e Among his other books are \u003ci\u003eThe Bengal Mutiny, Victoria's Heir: The Education of a Prince, The Awakening of American Nationalism, 1815-1828, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Damnable Question: A Study in Anglo-Irish Relations.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44546893545709,"sku":"9780804729307","price":47.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_72acc4b7-2ec1-4d3d-80d5-672626a5a054.jpg?v=1701609392","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-strange-death-of-liberal-england-9780804729307","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
