It spans a century in which the county's parliamentary over-representation and notorious political corruption was replaced by a politicised electorate for whom issues and principles were usually paramount. Several models of electoral behaviour are tested; in particular, the continuous politicalactivism of Cornwall's farmers stands out. Despite remnants of the unreformed electoral system lingering into the mid-Victorian era, Cornwall developed a powerful Liberal tradition, built upon distinctive patterns of non-conformity; the Conservatives, split by dissension, saw their pre-reform ascendancy disappear. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Professor EDWIN JAGGARD lectures in history at Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edwin Jaggard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0861932439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780861932436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.62w x 0.98d","brand":"Edwin Jaggard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065217691903,"sku":"9780861932436","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1524ae2-0013-4407-b9ec-a1db550405c2.jpg?v=1768673753","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cornwall-politics-in-the-age-edwin-jaggard-9780861932436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
