Its focus is the making of the Union, the Catholic question, the age of Daniel O'Connell, the famine and its consequences, emigration and settlement in new lands, post-famine politics, religious awakenings, Fenianism, the rise of home rule politics and emergent feminism.

Charles Stewart Henry Vane-Tempest-Stewart, the seventh Marquess of Londonderry, has long been a divisive figure in British and Irish history. Was he an anti-Semitic Nazi sympathizer, as some have argued, or did he seek to preserve peace in Europe? Should he be blamed for the breakdown of the World Disarmament Conference, as the Labour party maintained, or did he help to preserve the Royal Air Force that ultimately secured victory in the Battle of Britain? Was he the founding father of integrated education in Northern Ireland, or the friendly face of a sectarian government?In the paperback edition of The Marquess of Londonderry, N.C. Fleming answers these questions and more. This updated and expanded biography draws extensively from private family papers and state papers, as well as new scholarship, to provide an illuminating and rounded study of an infamous and often misunderstood aristocrat. It contains new details about his household and wealth, his travels across the British Empire, and his ownership of collieries in County Durham. Londonderry’s political beliefs are fully examined, including his attitudes to democracy, capitalism, women’s rights, religion, trade unions, and anti-Semitism. It charts his diplomatic efforts at the League of Nations, and his promotion of Anglo-German understanding in response to the aggressive policies of Adolf Hitler. Fleming places Londonderry’s political career in the context of aristocratic decline and growing calls for social equality. He demonstrates how Londonderry defied contemporary expectations by holding on to high office, and how he continued to have the attention of powerful figures even after his removal from the government.

Tradition, Empire and the Forging of the Conservative Right

Britannia's Zealots, Volume I opens the first longitudinal study to examine the Conservative Right from the late-19th century to the present day. British Conservatism has always contained a significant section fundamentally opposed to progressive reform. A permanent minority in Parliament, dissident right-wing Conservatives nevertheless had allies in the press and sympathy among grassroots party members enabling them to create crises in the media and at party meetings.N.C. Fleming charts the evolution of reactionary politics from its preoccupation with the Protestant constitution to its fixation with the prestige and strength of Britain’s global empire. He examines the overlooked ways in which Conservative Right parliamentarians shaped their party’s policies and propaganda, in and out of office, and their relationships with the press and ordinary activists. He seeks to demonstrate that this influence could be circumscribing, and on occasion highly disruptive, with consequences which remain relevant for today's Conservative party. Britannia’s Zealots, Volume I will be of great interest to academics and students of British history, right-wing politics, imperialism, and 20th-century history.

The decline and fall of the British aristocracy looked headlong and irreversible in the twentieth century yet many grandees tried to preserve their power, wealth and influence by every means - and with some success. There is no better example than the Seventh Marquess of Londonderry whose life from 1878 to 1949 spanned and mirrored the period. The Londonderrys had enjoyed immense wealth in land and minerals in Britain and Ireland for centuries, played leading roles in Parliament and the state, and in an earlier time the Seventh Marquess would have continued in the family tradition of patrician prominence. Drawing upon original state and family papers, N.C. Fleming places the Londonderrys in the context of the history and the political theory of aristocracy and shows the constant struggle - not without success - against marginalisation. The theme runs through Londonderry's career as Conservative MP, on the Irish Viceroy's Council, as a junior minister in Lloyd Geroge's coalition, at the Air Ministry with Trenchard - the 'father of the RAF' - and in the National Government.Perhaps an element of desperation entered in his private business ventures and with contacts with the far Right - all in sharp contrast to past family achievement.
