The Rise of Party in England: The Rockingham Whigs 1760-82

by Frank O'Gormann

Overview

The Rise of Party in England (1975) examines the English political party as an essential entity to the meaningful interpretation of political history. Parties are not separate from events but arise out of them, acquiring their definition from the attitudes and prejudices, the principles and the rationalisations, the fears and impulses of those involved in a series of historical situations.
