Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

In the mid-1930s, Josiah Wedgwood M.P., the main initiator of the History of Parliament project, planned two volumes containing biographies of all those who had been elected to the House of Commons from 1885-1918.  In order to ‘get inside the minds’ of surviving M.P.s of that period, in 1936 he circulated a questionnaire listing topics for their own biographies to 550 colleagues and former colleagues.  355 replies were received and 130 biographies written but Wedgwood stopped work on the project in mid-1937 and the planned volumes never appeared. 

Most of the completed questionnaires and biographies have survived.  The questionnaires, which are analysed and summarised in this volume, elicited surprisingly truthful and informative answers about their subjects’ political and parliamentary careers.  With Wedgwood’s often sharply observed biographies (reproduced in an appendix), they provide unique insights into the parliamentary experiences of M.P.s during what Wedgwood had recognised as a crucial period for the House of Commons.
