Alan Beattie provides an authoritative analysis of the structural and ideological shifts that shaped British governance, tracing the journey from early political factions to the sophisticated parliamentary democracy of the late twentieth century. By bridging the gap between historical narrative and political theory, this set serves as an essential resource for understanding the foundations of modern British political life.\n\nVolume I (1600–1906): Focuses on the emergence of political factions during the Stuart era, the subsequent development of Whig and Tory allegiances, and the institutionalization of party structures leading up to the Edwardian period.\n\nVolume II (1906–1970): Continues the rigorous study through the challenges of the twentieth century, detailing the rise of the Labour Party, the decline of Liberal dominance, and the socio-political adjustments required by a rapidly changing modern landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887873667291,"sku":"2026200007692-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/17c20931-aebe-41f6-8e5e-d31dcb97b00d.png?v=1781747262","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007692-secondhand-english-party-politics-volume-i-ii","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
