Interprets British radical, suffrage-feminist and socialist movements during the first quarter of the 20th century, based on analysis of visions of democratic constitutional reform. The author argues that these groups forged alliances based upon a common preoccupation with constitutional democracy.
Part 1 A panoramic approach: introduction - class, socialism and labour history, "the 19th century and all that", the influence of non-socialist ideas - some precursors, radicalism and constitutionalism - revisionist approaches; "left" and "constitution" in early 20th-century Britain - an inclusive definition, constitutionalism and the constitution, three studies; ideas, communication and public political discourse - historical postmodernism revis(it)ed, ideas and communication practices - a taxonomy, desiderata for the public political discourse approach, authors, audiences, text and contexts, print culture and the multiple, overlapping public spheres of oppositional politics. Part 2 Aristocracy or the people? - the Edwardian constitutional crisis: constructing an anti-Lords alliance - the origins and context of the Edwardian constitutional crisis, constructing the enemy, radicalism, labourism and socialism; crisis and reform -constitutional innovation?, the single chamber option, the reformed chamber option, the "smash the veto" option. Part 3 Constitutionalism and citizenship - the stuggle for the vote: first wave feminism and the significance of the vote - prelude, 1912 -the convergence of suffragists, radicals, labourists and socialists on the election fighting fund, the significance of the vote, the political context - adultism, limited suffragism and indifference, the divide and its points of weakness; constructing a suffragist alliance - the discourses of citizenship, the appeal to history, uncoupling liberalism from Liberalism, reprise - the election fighting fund, 1912-14, tensions caused by the EFF, the WSPU's rejection; war and reform - war and the tacit continuation of the alliances, citizens without citizenship, reform. Part 4 Equality, equity and truth? - proportional representation: minorities, parties and the progressive alliance - electoral reform or electoral pact?, the revival of the proportional representation society, MacDonaldite/Fabian rejection; a fragile, partial alliance -radicals, labourists and socialists, constitutionalism, "fairness" and electoral justice, the 1918 Reform Act, feminism and failure.
