The debate on the ‘land question’ occupied a central place in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century politics. Jesse Collings played a major part in this debate. Yet historians have paid little attention to him, particularly in regard to his time as a Unionist M.P. after 1886. This article provides the first sustained scholarly examination of Collings's agrarian politics, and re-assesses his influence within Unionism. Drawing on published and unpublished sources, it argues that Collings's land reform proposals were founded on patriotic concern for the nation's welfare, and that, to a large extent, the Unionist party adopted his analysis before 1914
