Opis

This study of British politics from 1760 to 1832 deals with the reasons why people went into politics, the functions of party and patronage and the balance of power between King, Lords and Commons. George III is the central figure of the work and the author discusses the King's conception of his mission and his struggles with "that hydra faction".

Recenzje

'one continues to be impressed by the precision, range, and depth of Pares's scholarship and, despite the passage of time, his pioneering book remains one of the most important studies of Hanoverian politics ever written' Huw V. Bowen, Rugby School, British Journal for Eighteenth Century Studies
