Title: Boring Tedious
Product review: This book has a promising subject, the creation of conservative politics in England. In promotional material the book has been described as explaining the sorts of ideas which were developed as a reaction to the pressure for democratic change in England as a result of the French Revolution. Such a book would have been interesting.This book rather than looking at the institutional structure of England and the response of its elite's is a mishmash of written material at the time. It rambles is unfocused and one wonders what is the point. The book is more a display of the author's knowledge rather than trying to look at the attitudes of the time and to see how they tied in with the structure of power. The book is very much an "academic treatment" in the worst possible use of that label.
