in the last four decades of the nineteenth century. The dynamic, highly reflective nature of British liberalism in this period is already familiar through substantial texts such as Mill’s Subjection of Women (1969) and Spencer’s The Man Versus the State (1884). However, many works on a smaller scale were also important in defining the contours of liberal thought when the political fortunes of liberalism were at their height. This volume represents a sample of such writings. It will be of interest to scholars and advanced undergraduates studying liberalism and English political thought and history. Contributors include James Fitzjames Stephen, J. E. E. Dalberg-Acton, T. H. Green, Herbert Spencer, and others.
