ReviewsReview of the hardback: 'Parry's volume deserves enormous respect and will no doubt generate genuinely creative controversy.' Frank Turner, Yale University, Review of the hardback: '... 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, ' … 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, "Parry has offered us a book that deserves to become one the major classics of nineteenth-century British History for a long time to come." Georgios Varouxakis, American Historical Review, "It is necessary to unpack many of Parry's comments, but this unpacking is certainly worthwhile." -Jeremy Black, H-Albion, ' ... 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, "Jonathan Parry is the most interesting historian of Victorian liberalism of his generation. He approaches his subject with an unapologetic admiration that never falls into uncritical flattery...his comments on Nonconformity and the general liberal sensitivity to religious issues are especially perceptive and push the envelope of old, now obsolete, secular interpretations of the subject...Parry's volume deserves enormous respect and will no doubt generate genuinely creative controversy." Frank M. Turner, Yale University, "As Jonathan Parry notes in his excellent book, propertied Victorians 'considered their country to be the greatest power that the world had ever seen and expected that status to be maintained" (p. 387) - Philip Harling, H-Albion, Review of the hardback: '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, "Parry may well know more about Victorian Liberalism than anyone else on the globe." -Philip Harling, H-Albion, Review of the hardback: '… 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, Review of the hardback: 'A skilful and deeply knowledgeable account of Victorian political culture.' H-Albion

SynopsisBetween the 1830s and 1880s European problems had a profound impact on British politics. Jonathan Parry examines the effect on the British Liberal movement of the most significant of these, such as the 1848 Revolutions, the unification of Italy, the Franco-Prussian War and the Eastern Question, arguing that these European problems made patriotism a major political question: governments were judged by their success in promoting British interests abroad, but also by the purity, potency and 'Englishness' of the political values they represented. This volume makes a major contribution towards understanding three important aspects of nineteenth-century British history: British attitudes to Europe, contemporary notions of national identity, and the nature and dynamic of British Liberalism. Setting foreign and domestic policy discussions in a patriotic framework, Parry offers an analysis of the ideas that influenced the Liberal political coalition and the turning-points affecting its vigour and unity as a political movement., Between the 1830s and 1880s European problems had a profound impact on British politics. Parry examines the effect on the British Liberal movement of the most significant of these, such as the 1848 Revolutions, the unification of Italy and the Franco-Prussian War, arguing such issues made patriotism a political question.
