  • The Welsh Renaissance

    Open AccessKenneth O MorganARTICLERevue française de civilisation…2023

    This article proposes to study the rebirth of a nation, Wales, during the Edwardian years, by first considering the deep changes affecting the country, be they economic, social and cultural, giving it a new lease of life. Such changes led to a new prominence of the symbols and institutions of Welsh nationhood, and successes, especially in sport. All these areas of dominance owed their essence to politics, notably the Liberal domination, that came…

  • The Age of Lloyd George

    Kenneth O MorganBOOKAge of Lloyd George2021

    Originally published in 1971, this book traces the revival, triumph, division and decline of the British Liberal Party in the late 19th & 20th centuries. It does so by focusing on the career of David Lloyd George, itself the decisive agent for change in this period. The first part of the book is an extended critical essay; the second part consists of primary documentary material which is intimately linked to the commentary in the first section. T…

  • Promoting high culture

    Open AccessKenneth Morgan, Kenneth O MorganARTICLEQueensland Review2020

    This article analyses the musical work of the Brisbane Musical Union (BMU) between its founding in 1872 and the consolidation of its position by 1898. During this period, the BMU benefited from the dedicated leadership of its main conductor, R. T. Jefferies, who drew upon his high standing as a violinist, ensemble player and conductor in Brisbane to present regular choral concerts, mainly comprising oratorios, with an amateur choir. Despite finan…

  • The Unknown Gladstone

    Open AccessKenneth O MorganARTICLEThe English Historical Review2019

    ‘The finest living embodiment of the Liberal principle that talent is not hereditary.’ Thus Lloyd George’s harsh verdict on Herbert, Viscount Gladstone, youngest son of the Liberal colossus, in 1922. In less severe terms, he has tended to be seen, like Richard Lloyd George and later Randolph Churchill, as a rather dull and disappointing offspring, dominated and diminished by a towering father. Certainly, father William overshadowed his career thr…

  • December 1916

    Open AccessKenneth O MorganARTICLEParliamentary History2017

    On 7 December 1916, in a dramatic coup, Lloyd George supplanted Asquith and became prime minister. This marked the death of a great party and has generated huge controversy. For long, Lloyd George was condemned as the culprit but latterly his reputation has risen sharply. Asquith and Lloyd George came from very different wings of the party, imperialist and Little Englander. Asquith seemed the supreme insider, Lloyd George a supreme Welsh outsider…

  • Dilemmas and Disappointments

    Open AccessKenneth O MorganARTICLEThe Political Quarterly2016

    Attempts at a Labour–Liberal Democrat Progressive Alliance came to nothing prior to the 1997 general election. The original idea of progressivism, first mooted in Britain in 1896, was an American one. Suggestions for a progressive alliance in the UK came from Lloyd George in 1914, and then again in 1931, each time with little effect. Nothing emerged after 1945 until the Lib–Lab pact negotiated by Callaghan and Steel in 1977, which led to electora…

  • The Left and Constitutional Reform, Gladstone to Miliband

    Open AccessKenneth O MorganARTICLEThe Political Quarterly2013

    Nineteenth‐century constitutional reformers focussed on parliament. Their central idea was citizenship, modelled variously on the democracy of ancient Athens, small communities like Switzerland, and especially the United States, a particular inspiration for Gladstone who admired its constitution. The 1911 Parliament Act marked the final triumph of the Victorian Liberals legacy, with a very different impetus coming from Lloyd George during his coa…

  • The Bristol Chamber of Commerce and the Port of Bristol, 1823–1848

  • United Kingdom

    Kenneth O MorganARTICLEJournal of Legislative Studies2004

    Labour's ethic of socialism emphasises collectivity. Its ethic of democracy celebrates power vested, supposedly, in the grass roots. Its idea of leadership was coloured by MacDonald whose national government gave leadership a bad name. Attlee, Labour's longest serving leader, operated an ordered collective style with personal interventions notably over India, but made mistakes later, especially over Bevan's resignation. Wilson had a technocratic …

  • England, Britain and the Audit of War ( The Prothero Lecture )

    Open AccessKenneth O MorganARTICLETransactions of the Royal…1997Referencias: 15

    THE award of the Booker Prize for 1995 to Pat Barker's Ghost Road did more than pay tribute to the latest powerful novel in the author's ‘Regeneration Cycle’. It also emphasised once again how much the historical and cultural consciousness of twentieth-century Britain is dominated by images of war. With the obvious exception of Northern Ireland, Great Britain has been an unusually peaceful and stable country in a century marked by revolution and …

    The British labour movement has always venerated the collective ideal: solidarity, mass endeavour, the common good. Yet, it also draws constant inspiration from the ideas and achievements of single individuals. From Hardie to Bevan, from Benn to Kinnock and Scargill, Labour's progress or decline has always been inextricably bound with its major personalities and the concept of leadership. Labour People opens up a gallery of vivid portraits, cover…
