Abstract
This article, titled "The Guardians of Concepts: Political Languages of Conservatism in Britain and West Germany, 1945–1980," by Martina Steber, explores the efforts of West German Christian Democratic and British Conservative parties to shape their political languages. Steber examines the interplay of ideas, party personnel, and partisan terminology, highlighting the similarities and differences between the two parties. The article emphasizes the complex path of German conservatism, which experienced a rupture with Nazism, while British conservatism was seen as more traditional. The author also discusses the influence of religion, class, gender, and race on conservative concepts in both countries. Overall, the article provides new insights into postwar European history and the role of conservatism. [Extracted from the article]
