Norman Gash: Political Historian
This article commemorates the 40th anniversary of the publication of Lord Liverpool by Norman Gash (1912–2009). It considers Gash as a historian who both wrote about 19th‐century politics and expressed political views of his own.

Norman Gash and the Making of Mr Secretary Peel
In May 1961, the firm of Longmans published the first volume of Norman Gash's monumental life of Sir Robert Peel.

This essay is concerned with locating Gash's work within its political, biographical, and historiographical context. It begins by considering the r…

Patrician Landscapes and the Picturesque in Nottinghamshire c.1750–c.1850
This article considers the Dukeries estates of north Nottinghamshire in the heyday of aristocratic power and prestige, from the mid Georgian to the mid Victorian period. It poses a contrast between visitors' impressions of the area as one of constancy and continuity, a point of reassurance in an age of political and social upheaval, and the reality of internal changes from within. Closely crowded as these estates were, their aristocratic owners c…

The article re‐examines the events of the year with two considerations in mind: …

This study, based on case material in Cardiff, Wales, uses a 5‐point model to describe and analyze general business patterns. The study finds that LEDMs only partly identify the needs and objectives of businesses, and even when potentially useful, poor …
