At the centre of Hanoverian politics for nearly four decades, George Canning was one of the most divisive figures in British political history. This study looks at how Canning emerged in the years between 1801 and his death in 1827 as the leading exponent of a distinctive form of Liberal Toryism in parliament and in the country at large.
