Book Synopsis
In the mid-Victorian era, liberalism was a practical politics: it had a party, it informed legislation, and it had adherents who identified with and expressed it as opinion. This title argues that the properties of liberalism - citizenship, the vote, the candidate, and reform - were developed in response to a chaotic and antagonistic world.

Trade Review
"Reading Living Liberalism puts you in the presence of a kind of genuine greatness. Hadley gives a drama to Victorian liberalism that one can't help identify with and gives today's liberalism a sort of existential pathos. Superb." - Bruce Robbins, Columbia University"
