Benjamin Disraeli and the Formalization of the British Imperial Social Structure
ABSTRACT UNDERWOOD, JONATHAN ALLEN. From empire to Empire: Benjamin Disraeli and the Formalization of the British Imperial Social Structure. (Under the direction of Dr. David Gilmartin.) Throughout the last century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli’s influence and reputation as an imperialist has been praised, demonized, and denied. Though always a target of considerable political criticism, Disraeli’s advancement and, some might even say, invention of British imperial nationalism was celebrated by contemporary politicians, academics, and the general population who considered him “inextricably entwined” with the notion of empire. However, twentieth century historiography largely downplayed and discounted Disraeli’s influence on late nineteenth century imperial British expansion by focusing not on imperialism as an ideology, but as a phenomenon of economics and power; aligning its genesis with the Industrial Revolution, and the socio-economic theories of Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Atkinson Hobson. But, since the publication of Edward Said’s Orientalism in 1978, which reevaluated the cultural and social relationships between the East and the West, Disraeli’s impact on Britain’s colonial century has yet again come to the forefront of imperial British historiography. Disraeli’s rhetoric and political acumen regarding Britain’s eastern empire directly (through the proclamation of Victoria’s title Empress of India in 1876) and indirectly (through his assertion of Conservative Principles at the Crystal Palace in 1872) established a significant hierarchical social structure and consciousness that still pervades British culture today.

White Horse History
History of Beaconsfield and the White Horse Beaconsfield Beaconsfield is about 22 miles west of London on the A40, once the main road from London to Oxford and around half-way between the two. Located on the north-western corner of the South Bucks District, Beaconsfield is the largest town in South Bucks. With the coming of the railway in 1906 a new commuting community grew to the north of the historic core, which lay around the market square, and although 20th century developments have filled the gap, the terms ‘Old Town’ and ‘New Town’ are still used locally to distinguish the historic town from its 20th century Photo © Steve Daniels (cc-by-sa/2.0) 2 counterpart. St Marys and All Saints Church in Beaconsfield The parish church at the crossroads of Old Beaconsfield is dedicated to St Mary, it was rebuilt of flint and bath stone by the Victorians in 1869. The United Reformed Church in Beaconsfield can trace its roots of non-conformist worship in the town back to 1704. ‘Old Beaconsfield’ has a number of old coaching inns along a wide street of red brick houses and small shops. It was the first coach stopping point on the road between London and Oxford. Most buildings are parallel to the road and come right up to the boundary with no room ‘Copyright The Francis Frith Collection for front gardens.

How the Conservative Party Adapted to Extensions of the Franchise; and Coped with Ensuing Political Repercussions 1867-1914

This thesis investigates how the Conservative party coped with the far-reaching effects of democratic reform between 1867 and 1914. It analyses the performance of successive party leaders through their exploitation of high politics; and how ideology influenced their policy, and decision making. It also examines how the party’s organization was periodically revised to manage changing political circumstances. The relationships between these three elements, high politics, ideology, and organization are then analysed to explain the Conservative party’s appeal for electoral support during the period of study. The respective contributions made by the three elements to the party’s electoral performance are considered in relation to each other.
