Ideologies of Conservatism

`Review from hardback edition ... erudite ... important, well-organized and lucid ... Green's authoritative handling of the intricacies of economic thought is extremely valuable and his material is clearly and thematically presented. Ideologies of Conservatism should be vital reading not only for historians of the Conservative party and of Conservative thought but for those interested in the intellectual history of Britain and in the fortunes of corporatist ideas in the twentieth century.' MODERNISM/modernity `Review from previous edition Ideologies of Conservatism will be a great eye-opener to to historians and philosophers alike...A first rate, indispensable book...Green's conclusions are cautious, provisional, and based always on scrupulous consideration of the copious evidence and (most importantly) counter-evidence which his impressive industry has unearthed, often from very obscure, unpublished sources.' Times Literary Supplement `Superbly-researched essays on episodes in Conservative history since 1903...Green has made an impressive and rich contribution.' English Historical Review `Easy to read and well worth reading...Green is a first-rate historian' London Review of Books `Rewarding and provocative assembly of essays...There is a unifying theme running through the book to which each essay makes an accumulating contribution, and which creates both unity and progression in the whole enterprise' European Review of History
