Australian Liberals And The Moral Middle Class: From Alfred Deakin To John Howard - Judith Brett

‘This is a book of major significance. It provides an original and powerfully coherent insight into how the non-Labor parties have understood politics and themselves.’  Professor Stuart Macintyre, University of Melbourne

‘I believe this analysis to be very important indeed, making a serious and fresh contribution to our understanding of party politics … The exposition of middle class virtue … is quite brilliant.’ Graham Maddox

‘Judith Brett has a story to tell that is not only fascinating in itself, but at times almost spookily reminiscent of passes in the history of British parties in the twentieth century … an account of Australian party politics which breaks free of many of the crudities of political science and casts a flood of light on the relationship between rhetoric and morality in the politics of twentieth-century liberal democracies.’ Times Literary Supplement
