Linking historiography and political history, Victor Feske addresses the changing role of national histories written in early twentieth-century Britain by amateur scholars Hilaire Belloc, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, J. L. and Barbara Hammond, G. M. Trevelyan, and Winston Churchill. These writers recast the nineteenth-century interpretation of British history at a time when both the nature of historical writing and the fortunes of Liberalism had begun to change.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The revision of this manuscript for publication was a particularly arduous, on-again, off-again affair, complicated by the successive interruptions that accompany the itinerant existence of any untenured academic. Throughout, Lewis Bateman, my editor at the University of North Carolina Press, has exhibited admirable patience as well as generous interest and support. Librarians and archivists across Britain and America were uniformly helpful in speeding the completion of my task, but special thanks are reserved for the staffs of Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University; the John L. Burns Library, Boston College; the Bodleian Library, Oxford; the British Library of Political and Economic Science, London; the Robinson Library, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne; Trinity College Library, Cambridge; and the Churchill Archives Centre, Churchill College, Cambridge. I wish to thank the following individuals and institutions for permission to quote extracts of unpublished material for which they are the holders of copyright: Professor N. G. L. Hammond (J. L. and Barbara Hammond); Mary Bennett
