British liberalism and the United States: political and social thought in the late Victorian age

While there are many works on British liberalism, this is the first to deal substantially with the transatlantic and international content of liberalism.

Gerlach considers the transatlantic thought of prominent contemporary figures such as William Gladstone, John Morley, William Harcourt and Andrew Carnegie.

A fascinating account that paves the way for the political and social rapprochement of the twentieth century.
