Geoffrey Hicks is Lecturer in Modern British History at the University of East Anglia
This book examines the mid-Victorian Conservative Party's significant but overlooked role in British foreign policy and in contemporary debate about Britain's relations with Europe. It considers the Conservatives' response, in opposition and government, to the tumultuous era of Napoleon III, the Crimean war and Italian unification.
