Three Rebellions considers the context, causes, consequences and commemoration of three major popular disturbances in the British Empire during the early years of Queen Victoria's long reign. In the Canadas during 1837 and 1838, at Newport in South Wales in 1839 and at the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat, Victoria in Australia in 1854 thousands of largely working people took up arms against the forces of colonial rule and oppression. What linked these three events was a popular form of constitutionalism, linked to British radicalism and especially to Chartism that sought constitutional and...

Famine, Fenians and Freedom, 1830-1882 is the second book in the Rebellion Quartet, a series looking at resistance and rebellion in the British Empire. It examines the Irish dimension in Britain's Empire, evident in Three Rebellions: Canada, South Wales and Australia, through attempts especially by the Young Ireland and Fenian movements to achieve Ireland's independence through rebellion between 1830 and 1882 and by the populist and parliamentarian constitutionalist Repeal Association and campaign for Home Rule to achieved devolved government. Famine, Fenians and Freedom, 1830-1882 focuses on...

From South Africa, Sierra Leone and Mauritius, to Kenya, America, Cyprus and New Zealand, this book is a global sweep of resistance in the British Empire. It is also the third volume of Richard Brown's epic 'Rebellions Quartet'. This volume explores a diverse range of anti-colonial resistance within the British Empire from a broader chronological and geographical perspective using examples from the seventeenth through to the twentieth century. 'Rebellion' is seen as a broad concept encompassing resistance to the authorities as well as direct action. Rebellions include those of slaves,...

This book draws together much of recent work by historians into a guide to Britain between 1780 and the Great Exhibition of 1851, traditionally regarded as the apex of Britain's global economic dominance. It is deliberately written as a simple guide covering the key developments in Britain during these decades with footnotes that provide explanations of key terms and short biographies of key figures and a short reading list. After an introductory chapter examining what Britain was like in the 1780s, there are five chapters that look at political developments chronologically--William Pitt,...

The essays in this book were written and revised over more than three decades. They were largely written in response to books or events rather than as part of a larger project. Each essay, nonetheless, draws on my engagement with Britain and its modern history that has been central to my teaching, research and writing throughout my adult life during which I have developed some consistent ideas and perspectives on the past. The first three chapters of the book consists of essays on economic change, why it occurred and its variegated nature. This is followed by four essays that consider...

A senior-level, proof-based undergraduate text in the modern theory of dynamical systems that is abstract enough to satisfy the needs of a pure mathematics audience, yet application heavy and accessible enough to merit good use as an introductory text for non-math majors.
