Gives a left-wing conservative assessment of Thatcherism in action - as ideology, style, monarchy, millenarianism, 19th-century liberalism, a set of moral values, right-wingery, or as a combination of them all - and its affects on the country and on tory policy during Thatcher's 11-year reign. This study gives a left-wing conservative assessment of Thatcherism in action - as ideology, style, monarchy, millenarianism, 19th-century liberalism, a set of moral values, right-wingery, or as a combination of them all - and its effects on the country and on Tory policy during Thatcher's 11-year reign. While it gives Mrs Thatcher credit for her achievements, it is an anti-Thatcher study written from a conservative point of view, by someone who observed her at close quarters throughout the period - he was a cabinet minister in the Heath cabinet and in Mrs Thatcher's government until he was sacked in 1981. Ian Gilmour's previous books include "The Body Politic", "Inside Right" and "Britain Can Work".

Original Hardcover with original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Excellent condition with only very minor signs of external wear. Includes for example the following contents:- The Byrons and Gordons / Childhood in Aberdeen / The Shelleys and Field Place / Isleworth and Dulwich / Harrow and Eton / Eton and Harrow / Oxford and Cambridge / Cambridge and Oxford / Post-University Blues I / Post-University Blues II / Poetic Madness / Byron's Grand Tour / Return and Luddism / Marriage and Exile / Maiden Speeches etc. Both Byron and Shelley died young. By the time Byron left Harrow, almost half his life was over; and when Shelley left Eton, three-fifths of his life was gone. Ian Gilmour has concentrated on the two poets in their youth, and has told their stories in tandem. Their formative years were packed with incident and had a decisive influence on the later lives of them both. As an historian, Gilmour provides a colourful account of the political, social and economic background to their writings. Byron and Shelley lived in the stormy age of the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars and the post-Napoleon reaction. They became close friends, and though they are usually thought to have been very different from each other, Gilmour shows that they had much more in common than is usually recognised. (Amazon).</p>
