Opis

Examines eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England through the lens of popular disorder. This book pays particular attention to disturbances in the years between 1795 and 1812, examining how far they indicated the discontinuities discerned by earlier histories of protest, or whether they retained much of the character of earlier upheaval.

Recenzje

Professor Randall's Riotous assesmblies is a well sourced and researched piece of work, and is a welcome addition to the growing interest in eighteenth-century studies. The writing is articulate, erudite but light in touch.
