About this title

Synopsis

The theme of this book is the unsuccessful attempts of the 19th-century Anglican landed gentry to preserve their traditional social and political pre-eminence in England. It discusses the reasons for the decline of this elite and also the failure of the Protectionist Party after 1846.

Book Description

One of the great landmarks in the history of English politics in the nineteenth century was the struggle to repeal the Corn Laws in the 1840s. Earlier accounts have examined the episode from the side of the free-traders. This book explains the conduct of those Tories who broke with Robert Peel, and who, in the fighting to save the Corn Laws, preserved the foundations of the modern Conservative Party.
