Description:

This text provides a comprehensive study of the origins and development of the Labour Party, spanning the period from the late-19th century through to the general election of 1945. It shows how the Labour Party developed into a major political force, transforming the political scene in Britain.

Synopsis:

This popular study covers two major topics: the formation of the Labour Party and its emergence as the main rival to the conservatives. This transformation of the British political scene has been accounted for in a variety of ways. Dr Adelman examines these explanations and concludes that while there is a consensus about the reasons for the creation of the Labour Party there is no agreement about why it rose to such prominence.
