It does so by examining the work of two extremely influential British liberals and internationalists, Gilbert Murray and Alfred Zimmern. Jeanne Morefield mounts a forceful challenge to disciplinary boundaries by arguing that this tension, on both the domestic and international levels, is best understood as frequently arising from the same, liberal reformist political aim - namely, the aim of fashioning a socially conscious liberalism that ultimately reifies putatively natural, preliberal notions paternalistic order."--BOOK JACKET. |
