The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III' Volume II is a foundational work of historical analysis that transformed the understanding of 18th-century British governance. This volume provides an in-depth examination of the micro-structures of power, focusing on the individual motivations and local interests that defined the political landscape at the start of George III's reign. Rather than focusing on grand party ideologies, the work utilizes a rigorous prosopographical method to study the members of the House of Commons, their patronage networks, and their familial connections.The text investigates the practicalities of electoral politics, the influence of the Treasury, and the specific dynamics of various boroughs. By stripping away later myths of party discipline, it reveals a political world driven by personal ambition, social standing, and local influence. This study is indispensable for historians and students of political science, offering a detailed map of how the British constitutional system actually functioned in practice during the mid-1700s. Its focus on the tangible realities of political life makes it a landmark in modern historiography and an essential resource for anyone studying the Georgian era.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
