Michael Bentley (historian)

Michael Bentley is an English historian of British politics in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.[1] Boyd Hilton has called Bentley's Politics without Democracy 1815–1914 "a wonderfully ‘inside’ account of life at the top",[2] whilst K. Theodore Hoppen claims the book "provides an interesting (if allusive) study of attitudes".[3]

Bentley is married to the historian Sarah Foot.
