Publisher Description This reassessment of the role of the aristocratic Whigs in the Liberal Party of the 1870s and 1880s studies the largely neglected Whig leadership of Granville and Hartington (1875-80), the leadership crisis of 1879-80, and the strategies of both front and back bench Whigs following Gladstones return to power in 1880. Traditionally the Whigs have been dismissed as a recalcitrant and increasingly marginal element in an age characterized by `Gladstonian Liberalism.Dr Jenkins aim is to restore `Whiggery to a position of significance in Liberal politics and, in the process, to re-examine Gladstones leadership and the role played by Radicals such as JosephChamberlain in the years leading up to the Home Rule crisis of 1886. In asserting the central importance of the Irish Question to the split in the Liberal Party, the book rejects previous interpretations of the schism as merely the result of class divisions, or the result of cynical manoeuvring for personal advantage by ambitious politicians. The book is based on the authors thesis, which has been awarded the University of Cambridges Prince Consort Prize for 1988.
