The British Constitution in the Twentieth Century [Paperback]

This is the first scholarly survey of the British constitution in the twentieth century. Indeed, it fills a very real gap in the history of Britain during the last hundred years. The book is a product of interdisciplinary collaboration by a distinguished group of constitutional lawyers, historians and political scientists, and draws where possible on primary sources. Its evaluation of the recent constitutional reforms will be of particular interest. This major interpretation of the constitution will remain authoritative for many years. There is to my mind no other work that so comprehensively considers the British constitution in all its richness.... Bogdanor'sThe British Constitution in the Twentieth Centuryis a true achievement and will, perhaps, become the final word on the subject--at least for the forseeable future. In addition, it has the remarkable feature of being quite useful not only to all students but to the academic community itself. --Thom Brooks, The Law and Politics Book Review

A modern interpretation of the constitution that will stay authoritative for many years
