The title of this collection – the strange survival of Liberal England –
is an allusion to the title of George Dangerfield’s classic polemical text,
The Strange Death of Liberal England, a study which set the tone for much
subsequent and more academic analysis.1 Dangerfield had argued that
British Liberalism was effectively finished as a political creed by 1914.
It had proved incapable of addressing the ‘modern’ problems which
Britain faced: industrial unrest, nationalist discord, an upsurge of feminist
activism – and ultimately, the irrationalism of war. Much subsequent
scholarship accepted that ‘moderate’ and ‘bourgeois’ ideologies could
not cope with such challenges. From this perspective, the ideas which
attracted attention were naturally Marxism and fascism, the ideologies
of left and right, in a century dominated by the extremes.2 Britain sat
on the edge of these developments, the dull (but safe and rather pleasant)
cousin of passionate and ideologically charged continental movements.
Although British Liberalism had survived longer than its continental
European equivalent, Britain’s version of these developments was
the polarisation of politics around a two-party, Labour–Conservative,
paradigm: or so historians argued in the 1960s and 1970s. |
