Opis

Between 1750 and 1840 ordinary British people abandoned such time-honoured forms of protest as collective seizures of grain, the sacking of buildings, public humiliation, and physical abuse in favour of marches, petition drives, public meetings and other sanctioned routines of social movement politics. The change created - perhaps for the first time anywhere - mass participation in national politics.
