Description
This 1961 text is the second volume of Party Politics, continuing the historical analysis of organised political parties in England. From the parliamentary divisions of the Civil War to the general election of 1959, Sir Ivor Jennings examines the nature and growth of party conflict.
He argues that English politics have their roots in a long history, with significant developments occurring relatively recently. This comprehensive and readable history highlights the organic development of English politics, shaped by both rationality and complexity.
The result is a nuanced understanding of the evolution of parties in England, revealing the intricate relationships between party conflict and the country's historical past.
