Written by a noted scholar, it utilizes new scholarship, archival research, and never-before-published images to enhance our understanding of the time. The book details all aspects of this political institution, including elections and electoral practice, membership, organization, the House in session, and legislative issues. It addresses a surprising number of innovations in the conduct and management of the House by speakers and members during this time, such as the introduction of divisions and increasing bureaucratization. With an emphasis throughout on the turbulent nature of the House during this period, this book re-evaluates a number of important political issues of the time, including the nature of institutional change and opposition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990259581157,"sku":"NP9781119279808","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119279808.jpg?v=1761787101","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-house-of-commons-1509-1558-isbn-9781119279808","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
