Public Life and Public Lives: Essays in Honour of Richard W. Davis

“The thirteen essays in the volume, written by former graduate students and colleagues, range widely in time, space, and subject matter, yet they collectively address issues of political biography, the role of ideas in politics, the nature of British electoral politics, and the constitutional position of the House of Lords, which have preoccupied Davis throughout his career.” (History: Reviews of New Books, Winter 2009)
