Description:... It was in the Victorian period that the political traditions we know today took shape, but they did so against an intellectual landscape dominated by preoccupations that are now often unfamiliar. H. S. Jones' book provides a genuinely historical overview of this rich period in political thought, incorporating the insights of an abundance of recent work in the history of ideas. Fresh perspectives are given on leading thinkers of the time, including John S. Mill, Thomas and Matthew Arnold, Walter Bagehot, Thomas Green, and Herbert Spencer.
