"Skeletons at the Feast," or the Radical Programme (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

< p>A pointed critique of political gamesmanship in Victorian England A thoughtful reader is invited to examine a bold warning about how self‑styled reformers could destabilize the state in the name of liberal change. The author argues that sensational promises, not steady policy, threaten England’s institutions and balance of power.

The piece surveys key figures and proposals, weighing their impact on property, education, church and state, and the House of Lords. It asserts that “skeletons at the feast” are exposed by a clear, principled stand for Empire and Liberty, emphasizing self‑reliance over government dependence and cautioning against disruptive reform that harms the country’s foundations.

• A historical argument about how political rhetoric can mask real aims.


• Critiques of land reform, education funding, church establishment, and constitutional change.


• Debate over liberal language, state power, and the role of individuals in shaping policy.


• A call for definite, intelligible, and sound principles in political life.

Ideal for readers of Victorian political essays who want a brisk, principled defense of conservative restraint and national continuity.
