Description: The English Constitution by Walter Bagehot, Miles Taylor Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An 1867 account of the history and working English political system. This edition reproduces Bagehots work in full and provides valuable historical contextualisation. Publisher Description An ancient and ever-altering constitution is like an old man who still wears with attached fondness clothes in the fashion of his youth: what you see of him is the same; what you do not see is wholly altered. Walter Bagehots The English Constitution (1867) is the best account of the history and working of the British political system ever written. As arguments raged in mid-Victorian Britain about giving the working man the vote,and democracies overseas were pitched into despotism and civil war, Bagehot took a long, cool look at the dignified and efficient elements which made the English system the envy of the world. His analysisof the monarchy, the role of the prime minister and cabinet, and comparisons with the American presidential system are astute and timeless, and pertinent to current discussions surrounding devolution and electoral reform. Combining the wit and panache of a journalist with the wisdom of a man of letters steeped in evolutionary ideas and historical knowledge, Bagehot produced a book which is always thoughtful, often funny, and seldom dull. This edition reproducesBagehots original 1867 work in full, and introduces the reader to the dramatic political events that surrounded its publication.
