Summary | "A Short History of English Liberalism" by W. Lyon Blease is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of Liberalism within British politics over the past century and a half, focusing on its philosophical foundations and its ongoing struggle against established Toryism. It sheds light on the principles of individual freedom and the importance of equal opportunity in political and social systems. The opening of the text sets the stage for an in-depth discussion on the key ideological differences between Liberalism and its opposing force, Toryism. Blease emphasizes Liberalism as not merely a political policy but a "habit of mind" that champions the equal worth of individuals and their right to self-development. He argues that Liberalism has effectively influenced various facets of society, including politics, religion, and art, emphasizing the gradual progression toward a more inclusive and equitable state. Throughout the initial chapters, Blease presents a framework for analyzing the historical trajectory of these ideas, laying out the conflicts between traditional class structures and the evolving ideals of individual freedom and societal development.
