NEW INTERPRETATION: These essays break new ground on a neglected topic: Progressivism as a historical movement in Britain between 1870 and 1918.

In this ferment of ideas, proposals, and reform agendas, moreover, British reformers drew more heavily from overseas experiences, especially in the US, than Rodgers allows
