Manchester School

Manchester School, the name first applied by Disraeli to the political party, led by Cobden and Bright, who advocated the principles of free trade. It was afterwards extended to the party who supported those leaders on other questions of policy. ‘Manchester policy’ was used derisively to signify a policy of laissez-faire and self-interest. The ‘Manchester School’ of drama refers loosely to the playwrights associated with Miss Horniman's repertory seasons at the Gaiety Theatre, Manchester, 1907–14, including Harold Brighouse (1882–1958), W. S. Houghton, and Allan Monkhouse (1858–1936).
