The Biographical Dictionary of British Prime Ministers is a wide-ranging, comprehensive guide to the political lives of Britains prime ministers, from Sir Robert Walpole to Tony Blair. Written by some of the leading scholars in British history and politics, this authoritative dictionary provides essential information about each premiership, including facts and analytical debate on seminal issues and events in British history. Each entry has been written to a consistent style and contains:
- brief biographical information outlining career history and significant dates and events
- a brief summary of the significance and peculiarities of each prime minister followed by a more descriptive and interpretative account of his or her political life and impact on British politics
- references and further reading
The Biographical Dictionary of British Prime Ministers addresses many of the key themes which have influenced parliamentary politics in Great Britain in the past three hundred years, such as the historical and cultural context of each premiership; party management and reform; intra-party intellectual and ideological debate and, where relevant, the evolution of the office of the prime minister in connection to the role of monarchy and the impact of mass politics.
Robert Eccleshall is Professor and Head of the Department of Politics at Queens University, Belfast. Graham Walker is Reader in Politics at the same department.

History of Parliament London
This volume, as its title suggests, consists of portraits of each occupant of the highest office in British politics since the first half of the eighteenth century. It is scholarly in approach: the assessments of the individual prime ministers are informed by a knowledge of academic findings in the field, particularly works of history but also of the social sciences and literature. Political memoirs and diaries have also been expertly mined for what they might contribute to the critical objective. Prime ministers are placed firmly, and we hope illuminatingly, in the context of their time; scholarly debates around cognate themes such as the development of party, the role of the monarch, the impact of mass democracy, and the ideological foundations of policies and programmes are alluded to where appropriate. Contributors have been chosen with a view to the new insights they might bring to their subjects, and to their command of the broader political, social and economic context. As editors we believe the volume represents a fair reflection of scholarly progress in the realm of British political history and, indeed, contemporary history. It may also be viewed as a contribution to the study of questions of leadership in British politics and society, rightly identified by a prominent British historian as a somewhat neglected theme (Clarke 1991:17).
