Description

This scholarly work, first published in 1965 and reissued in the Routledge Revivals series, examines the House of Lords through the lens of English constitutional theory spanning nearly three centuries. The book traces the evolution of mixed government theory from Tudor England through the Reform Act of 1832, analysing numerous proposals for reform, abolition, or curtailment of the Lords' powers in relation to prevailing political philosophies. By situating the House of Lords within broader constitutional debates, the study offers valuable historical perspective on parliamentary reform movements and the development of democratic theory in Britain. The work combines institutional history with intellectual history, making it essential reading for scholars of English constitutional development and the political thought underlying Britain's governmental structure during this transformative period.

Key Features

Traces the House of Lords from 1556 to 1832 within the framework of English constitutional and political theory.

Examines the theory of mixed government that originated in Tudor England and persisted beyond the 1832 Reform Act.

Analyses historical proposals for reform, abolition, or limitation of the House of Lords' powers and their theoretical justifications.

Provides historical context for understanding parliamentary reform movements and the emergence of democratic principles in Britain.

Part of the Routledge Revivals series, bringing this influential 1965 study back into scholarly circulation.
