description 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.
