Andrew Jones (historian)
Andrew Jones (born 1944) is a British historian who studies 19th-century British politics. He was a Fellow at Trinity Hall, Cambridge from 1969 to 1971, then became a history lecturer at the University of Reading in 1971. In 1972 he published The Politics of Reform 1884, a study of the high-level politics around the Representation of the People Act 1884. He received help and encouragement from Maurice Cowling, who said his earlier work on the 1867 act helped shape this book. The Politics of Reform was praised by Michael Bentley as masterly and was used by A.B. Cooke and John Vincent when they prepared The Governing Passion, about the Government of Ireland Bill 1886.
