this is a finely honed and well-argued monograph, with a challenging thesis and plenty of material within individual chapters for students and scholars to examine, whetting the appetite for further reflection on the state

Andrew Vincent, Australian National University, Political Studies, Vol. 45, No. 1, March '97

Meadowcroft has his own distinctive voice in the discussion, writes in a stylish academic prose and raises far more serious issues about method than the others. If his book takes us back into well-trodden territory, moreover, it has the virtues of being intelligent, brutish and short ... stimulating text

an important contribution to the study of political thought ... The subject is approached through detailed analysis of six major theorists.

John Clarke, University of Buckingham, EHR Nov. 97

This book is concerned with the way in which the concept of the state was invoked in British political argument between 1880 and 1914. It central claim is that the decades bracketing the turn of the century witnessed a significant change in the prevailing terms of British political discourse - that the concept of the state, hitherto a relative stranger to British debate, emerged as a key component of the idiom in which critical reflection on politics was cast. James Meadowcroft surveys the ways in which the state was understood in this period, and also presents a detailed analysis of the conceptions of the state in the work of six prominent theorists: Herbert Spencer, Hugh Cecil, Bernard Bosanquet, L T Hobhouse, J A Hobson and Ramsay MacDonald.
