The Politics of Patriotism

’ … a work of stupendous learning that demonstrates on every page a sovereign knowledge of the writings of familiar and unfamiliar authors … it offers an exemplary case-study of the interaction between the awareness of competition in the international sphere and domestic initiatives in the nineteenth century.’ Sehepunkte ‘In a brief review, one cannot hope to do full justice to the complexity of Parry’s analysis, which, like his other books, deserves to be greeted as a foundational text in the historiography of Victorian Liberalism.[1] Indeed, at this point in his scholarly career, Parry may well know more about Victorian Liberalism than anyone else on the globe.’ H-Net Book Review ‘A skilful and deeply knowledgeable account of Victorian political culture.’ H-Albion ‘Parry’s volume deserves enormous respect and will no doubt generate genuinely creative controversy.’ Frank Turner, Yale University
