Description
First published in 1984. This book is a detailed study of the way in which the growing Labour movement gradually ousted the Liberals in West Yorkshire between 1890 and 1924.
It demonstrates the basis of old Liberalism and the strength of local non-conformity, and its powerful links with the textile and engineering industries.
It shows how the Liberalism of this district was dominated by small groups of well-to-do leaders involved in these main industries.
This study also shows the gradual breakdown of the political consensus established between the Liberal party and the working classes and explains how the increasing opposition to Liberalism was channelled into the socialist movement.
In all, the authors present a thorough and extensive study of the political changes in a particularly interesting part of the British Isles.
