This work meticulously examines the election that saw the defeat of Benjamin Disraeli's Conservative government and the return of William Ewart Gladstone's Liberals to power, marking a significant shift in the political landscape of the United Kingdom. Lloyd's study not only covers the election results and political maneuverings but also delves into the social and economic contexts that influenced the electorate's decision-making. Lloyd highlights the impact of various factors on the election's outcome, including the state of the British economy, imperial concerns, and the evolving political consciousness of the British public. He pays particular attention to the role of emerging political strategies and technologies, such as the use of mass media and political campaigning techniques, which played a crucial role in shaping the election's dynamics. The book also explores the personalities of the key figures involved, including Gladstone and Disraeli, providing insights into their leadership styles, political visions, and the public perceptions that contributed to their successes and failures. Lloyd's analysis extends beyond the leaders to examine the broader shifts in party politics, including the role of the Irish Home Rule question and the beginnings of the Labour movement, which would come to play significant roles in British politics in the years following the election. 'The General Election of 1880' is praised for its detailed research and balanced perspective, offering a comprehensive overview of the election's significance. Lloyd skillfully connects the events of the election to broader trends in British society and the political developments that would shape the country's future. This book is considered a valuable resource for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the evolution of democracy in Britain. Through its detailed examination of the 1880 general election, Lloyd's work provides critical insights into the changing nature of political power and public participation in the late 19th century." ; Octavo; 175 pages.
