Title: Popular Conservatism in Imperial London, 1868-1906
Description: The Conservatives achieved huge electoral success in London between 1868 and 1906, but the reasons why have never been rigorously examined. The author demonstrates that the rise in fortunes cannot simply be accounted for by the conversion of the middle-class 'Villa Tory' voter.
