Parliament the Mirror of the Nation: Representation, Deliberation, and Democracy in Victorian Britain, by Gregory Conti
Gregory Conti’s contribution to the Ideas in Context series is a penetrating investigation of a major theme of Victorian constitutional discussion: the question of how, and how far, Parliament should mirror the social composition of the nation—what he calls ‘descriptive representation’. He starts from an apparent paradox: nowadays we measure the quality of democracy largely in terms of its perceived ability to reflect the full range of social gro…
Disraeli: The Novel Politician, by David Cesarani
The appearance of this book is notable for Disraeli studies but also as a memorial to its author, whose tragically early death in October 2015 took away one of the most productive and interesting historians of his generation. Most of David Cesarani’s work concerned twentieth-century Jewish history; much of it dwelt on very sombre themes. It was interesting, then, that he accepted a commission to write on Benjamin Disraeli for Yale’s Jewish Lives …
Disraeli, the East and Religion: Tancred in Context
Recently there has been much interest in Benjamin Disraeli’s writings, and particularly the importance to him of empire, race and Jewishness. His favourite among his own novels, Tancred (1847), set in the Near East, is now often said to advocate Asian imperialism and Jewish superiority and to mark a key stage in his ‘self-fashioning’ as a political leader. This article suggests that the problem with these interpretations, and with the older argum…
Steam Power and British Influence in Baghdad, 1820–1860
Very little has been published on British political activity in the province of Baghdad in the nineteenth century. Indeed, those formally responsible for it – officials in India – considered the region insignificant. This article argues, however, that it was not insignificant either to men on the spot or to influential British public figures in London and Constantinople. These men argued for its strategic and commercial potential, based on an int…

The Impact of Napoleon Iii on British Politics, 1851–1880
President of the French Republic in December . Faced with an obstructive Legislative Assembly, he mounted a coup d'e tat in December and restored universal suffrage in a new constitution, which was ratified overwhelmingly by plebiscite. The Second Empire was born when another plebiscite in November granted him the title of Emperor. Napoleon III presided over France until her defeat by Prussia in September drove him from power and into exile in En…
Introduction: Parliament and the Church of England from the Reformation to the Twentieth Century
Disraeli and England
This article questions the dominant historiographical approaches to understanding the career of Benjamin Disraeli, which view him either as more opportunistic than most of his political contemporaries or as more ‘continental’ in his outlook. It emphasizes his determination to understand English history and values, and argues that a desire to defend and realize his conception of England gave his career coherence. He saw himself as a foe of dangero…

Democracy and Religion: Gladstone and the Liberal Party 1867–1875
This book relates the political history of mid-nineteenth-century Britain to the assumptions which then prevailed about the abstract moral purposes of political activity. A great number of mid-Victorian writers and politicians expressed far-reaching hopes for the future development of British society, indeed for its regeneration; and such hopes were inspired by their religious outlook. They contended that these aims would be promoted by the pursu…

Religion and the Collapse of Gladstone's First Government, 1870–1874
Gladstone has not been well served by the historiographical tradition dominant for much of this century. It has disseminated an image of him that emphasizes little more than an undefined ‘reformism’ and a moralizing populism; this is as unhelpful and distorted as is the interpretation, emanating from the same source, of much of the rest of nineteenth-century politics. It is no longer enough to judge public figures of this period by the degree of …
