<p><b>The History of Parliament</b> is a project to write a complete <a href="/wiki/History" title="History">history</a> of the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_Parliament" class="mw-redirect"

The history will principally consist of a <a href="/wiki/Prosopography" title="Prosopography">prosopography</a>, in which the history of an institution is told through the individual biographies of its members. After various amateur efforts the project was formally launched in 1940 and since 1951 has been funded by the <a href="/wiki/HM_Treasury" title="HM Treasury">Treasury</a>. As of 2019, the volumes covering the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="House of Commons of the United Kingdom">House of Commons</a> for the periods 1386–1421, 1509–1629, and 1660–1832 have been completed and published (in 41 separate volumes containing over 20 million words); and the first five volumes covering the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a> from 1660 to 1715 have been published, with further work on the Commons and the Lords ongoing.

In 1918–1922 Wedgwood published the <i>Staffordshire Parliamentary History</i>. </p><p>In 1928, Wedgwood decided to take the subject further. Together with other MPs who were interested in the subject, he wrote a memorial to the <a href="/wiki/Stanley_Baldwin" title="Stanley Baldwin">Prime Minister</a> urging him to appoint a committee to prepare a complete record of the personnel of every parliament since 1264. The memorial noted that the Official Return was incomplete and inaccurate, and contained no information beyond a list of names; it attempted to head off Treasury objections to the cost, by pointing to the fact that pledges of voluntary assistance had been obtained. Wedgwood quickly obtained the signatures of more than 200 MPs.<sup id="cite_ref-Memo_to_PM_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Memo_to_PM-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On 17 July 414 had signed, together with a number of members of the House of Lords, and a delegation saw Prime Minister Baldwin who was again wary of the cost; the delegation insisted that the question of publication need not be considered until the availability of material was assessed. Baldwin agreed to take the matter under consideration.<sup id="cite_ref-Baldwin_delegation_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Baldwin_delegation-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The result of the pressure was that Baldwin announced in December (by which time 512 MPs were on board) that the Government agreed to appoint a Select Committee to report on materials available to write such a history.<sup id="cite_ref-Agree_Select_committee_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Agree_Select_committee-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The committee so formed in March 1929 included academics as well as politicians, and it soon became riven by ferocious differences about the nature of the project with Wedgwood's romanticism alienating most of the historians.<sup id="cite_ref-Seaward_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Seaward-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The interim report of the Committee, covering 1264 to 1832, was published in September 1932 in the run-up to the centenary of the <a href="/wiki/Reform_Act_1832" title="Reform Act 1832">Reform Act</a> and gave a guide to the information available.<sup id="cite_ref-Committee_1932_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Committee_1932-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The project then ran into funding difficulties given the economic situation in the 1930s, and no future reports were issued by the Committee. Wedgwood then undertook fundraising and worked with a small group of assistants, completing in 1936 and 1938 two volumes entitled <i>The History of Parliament 1439–1509</i>. He took advantage of the one remaining offer of government help and the books were published by <a href="/wiki/Office_of_Public_Sector_Information" title="Office of Public Sector Information">His Majesty's Stationery Office</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Seaward_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Seaward-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1940, the <b>History of Parliament Trust</b> was established to foster future volumes and arrange for their publication. However, the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a> and Wedgwood's death in 1943 meant that the project went into abeyance. At the end of the war, strenuous lobbying by <a href="/wiki/Lewis_Namier" title="Lewis Namier">L. B.

Despite working together on the Committee on House of Commons Personnel and Politics, they had quite different inspirations to take up the subject of parliamentary history. Wedgwood looked on the history of Parliament as a member of the classic <a href="/wiki/Whig_school_of_history" class="mw-redirect" title="Whig school of history">Whig school of history</a>: as a romantic story of the spread of freedom and liberty to people of all backgrounds. Namier regarded such views as fashionable nonsense and was especially interested in the personalities of Parliament; he obsessed over the single question of why its members had decided to go into Parliament.<sup id="cite_ref-Cannadine_Lecture_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cannadine_Lecture-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Organisation">Organisation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_History_of_Parliament&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Organisation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Once the History of Parliament Trust started looking into the scope of its work, it quite rapidly realised the enormity of the task before it. Namier was critical of the quality of Wedgwood's work and so his period of 1439–1509 was included to be rewritten from the start. The History was initially divided into 15 sections, but by 1956 even this was impossible and they were reduced to six. For a decade, Namier himself worked nine hours a day at the <a href="/wiki/Institute_of_Historical_Research" title="Institute of Historical Research">Institute of Historical Research</a> to write biographies of eighteenth-century Members of Parliament, with three paid assistants and other volunteers. Although Namier died in 1960, the first volumes of the History to be published in April 1964 carried his name along with that of his colleague John Brooke and covered the years 1754–1790.<sup id="cite_ref-Cannadine_Lecture_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cannadine_Lecture-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The format of the first three volume set established the standard for all others. It began with an introductory survey (written by Brooke) which explained the period and provided some statistical analysis of the Members as a whole. There followed articles about each constituency which gave the results of elections and explained the influences at work. Volumes two and three gave biographies of each of the 1,964 men who sat in Parliament at any point in the period; where the Members concerned had served before the period or continued serving after, the biographies covered solely their activities within the period; they also concentrated entirely on Parliamentary activity and mentioned the other lives of Members only briefly.<sup id="cite_ref-1754_section_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1754_section-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Volumes_published">Volumes published</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_History_of_Parliament&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Volumes published"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The next volume to appear after 1754–1790 was the preceding period, 1715–1754, published in two volumes in 1970 and edited by <a href="/wiki/Romney_Sedgwick" title="Romney Sedgwick">Romney Sedgwick</a>. Although the twenty-year agreement with the Treasury expired in 1971, funding was continued, and work continued through the 1970s. The early 1980s saw three sections completed. Peter Hasler had taken over the section dealing with 1558–1603 after the death of Professor <a href="/wiki/J._E._Neale" title="J. E. Neale">J. E. Neale</a>, and it was published in 1981. Professor S. T. Bindoff's section for 1509–1558 was published in 1982 shortly after his death in December 1980; Bindoff's death meant he was unable to write the usual introductory survey volume and the section appeared without it. In 1983, Basil Duke Henning's section on the History of Parliament in 1660–1690 was published. </p><p>The next section to appear was that for 1790–1820, which had originally been the work of Professor Arthur Aspinall before his death in 1972, and had been taken over by R. G. Thorne afterwards up to publication in 1986. Six years passed before the next section appeared, being the first volumes covering Parliament in the Middle Ages. Professor <a href="/wiki/J._S._Roskell" title="J. S. Roskell">J. S. Roskell</a>, Linda Clark and Carole Rawcliffe were jointly responsible for the section covering 1386–1421. By the mid-1990s many libraries and users of the History were struggling to cope with the 23 large volumes, and there had been new historical discoveries leading to revisions in the biographies of some Members included in previous volumes. In 1998 the History arranged for the republication, with corrections and revisions and some additional images, of all previous sections on a single <a href="/wiki/CD-ROM" title="CD-ROM">CD-ROM</a>. </p><p>In the 21st century there were three sections published: David Hayton, <a href="/wiki/Eveline_Cruickshanks" title="Eveline Cruickshanks">Eveline Cruickshanks</a> and Stuart Handley completed their work on the period 1690–1715 in 2002, the seven-volume History of Parliament 1820–1832 was published in December 2009,<sup id="cite_ref-1820_publication_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1820_publication-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and a seven volume set covering the period 1422–1461 was published in 2020.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Volumes_in_preparation">Volumes in preparation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_History_of_Parliament&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Volumes in preparation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The History of Parliament Trust previously estimated that the 1640–1660 edition edited by Stephen Roberts would be published in 2016.
