nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'An ancient and ever-altering constitution is like an old man who still
wears with attached fondness clothes in the fashion of his youth: what
you see of him is the same; what you do not see is wholly altered.'
Walter Bagehot's The English Constitution
(1867) is the best account of the history and working of the British
political system ever written. As arguments raged in mid-Victorian
Britain about giving the working man the vote, and democracies overseas
were pitched into despotism and civil war, Bagehot took a long, cool
look at the 'dignified' and 'efficient' elements which made the English
system the envy of the world. His analysis of the monarchy, the role of
the prime minister and cabinet, and comparisons with the
American presidential system are astute and timeless, and pertinent to
current discussions surrounding devolution and electoral reform.
Combining the wit and panache of a journalist with the wisdom of a man
of letters steeped in evolutionary ideas and historical knowledge,
Bagehot produced a book which is always thoughtful, often funny, and
seldom dull.
This edition reproduces Bagehot's original 1867
work in full, and introduces the reader to the dramatic political
events that surrounded its publication.
