Críticas:
"This engaging book . . . links historiography with political culture. It is highly recommended for students of both twentieth-century liberalism and historical writing."--"History: Reviews of New Books" "[A] straightforward, elegantly written, and handsomely produced study. . . . Feske has written a thought-provoking account that will aid students and scholars on negotiating their way through the quagmire of early twentieth-century British political and intellectual culture."--"American Historical Review" "In this well-written study, Victor Feske demonstrates how important the interpretation of history was for nineteenth-century British Liberalism. Exploring the dilemmas posed by rapidly shifting politics, he makes a convincing case for the close relationship of crisis and change in public life after the turn of the century to the vision of the past held by the authors examined. His persuasive argument will contribute materially to an important discussion."--Henry R. Winkler, author of "Paths Not Taken: British Labour and International Policy in the 1920s" "This is an excellent, highly readable book. It is based on a clear and cogent analysis of the work of a number of important twentieth-century British 'public historians.' It will make an important contribution to the history of historical writing in Britain, to our understanding of the cultural consequences of the specialization and professionalization of historiography, and to the history of liberalism and the Liberal Party."--Thomas William Heyck, Northwestern University Linking historiography and political history, Victor Feske addresses the changing role of national histories written in early twentieth-century Britain by amateur scholars Hilaire Belloc, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, J. L. and Barbara Hammond, G. M. Trevelyan, and Winston Churchill. These writers recast the nineteenth-century interpretation of British history at a time when both the nature of historical writing and the fortunes of Liberalism had begun to change.
