摘要

This thesis has two principal objectives: to trace theorganizational development of the Primrose League between 1883 and 1901and to examine its role in creating a popular basis of support forConservatism, thereby minimizing any losses incurred to the party bythe enactment of the Corrupt Practices Act of 1883 and the 1885 ReformAct. A major reassessment is also provided of the Marquis ofSalisbury, the leader of the Tories during the years under review. Itis argued that Salisbury played a fundamental role in formulating thetactics and strategy of the modern Conservative party, the predominanceof which is unchallenged to this day.Existing works by Ostrogorski and Robb provide only a generaloverview of the development of the Primrose League, omitting a detailedexamination of the Minutes, the papers of Conservative party leaders,newspapers, and many primary and secondary sources. Here the firstsystematic study of the origins and development of the Primrose Leaguebetween 1883 and 1901 is given. The first detailed examination of thedemographics of the membership is also provided, based on the 1888 and1899 Rolls of Habitations and selective membership rosters maintainedby local associations.These sources suggest that the Primrose League achieved itsgreatest level of participation in 1888, when it claimed over a halfmillion active members. In general the Primrose League was bestrepresented in regions where the Conservative party was active,although its strength in the East Midlands testified to its ability toflourish in areas noted for their Liberal, Nonconformist character.The rank and file membership comprised predominantly members of thelower middle and middle classes, whereas the leadership was drawnlargely from influential local notables.The thesis concludes with an examination of the politicalsubculture nurtured by the League, an illustration of some localstudies, and a summary of the League's performance prior to the FirstWorld War.
