Great Britain, the Dominions and the Transformation of the British Empire, 1907–1931
The relations of Great Britain and its Dominions significantly influenced the development of the British Empire in the late 19th and the first third of the 20th century. The mutual attitude to the constitutional issues that Dominion and British leaders have continually discussed at Colonial and Imperial Conferences respectively was one of the main aspects forming the links between the mother country and the autonomous overseas territories. This volume therefore focuses on the key period when the importance of the Dominions not only increased within the Empire itself, but also in the sphere of the international relations, and the Dominions gained the opportunity to influence the forming of the Imperial foreign policy. During the first third of the 20th century, the British Empire gradually transformed into the British Commonwealth of Nations, in which the importance of Dominions excelled. The work is based on the study of unreleased sources from British archives, a large number of published documents and extensive relevant literature.
Gladstone
First published in 1975, this remains the only biography based on recent scholarship dealing with the whole of Gladstone's long life. `...thoroughly competent and well-proportioned.' Enoch Powell, Books and Bookmen `...balanced and judicious, this biography qualifies as a model of synthesis that manages adeptly at every stage to distinguish between Gladstone as he conceived of himself and as he appeared to the multitudes who worshipped him.' Stephen Koss, Observer
