The Decline of British Radicalism, 1847-1860
ISBN: 9780198204824 / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is an important study of British radicalism in the years between the collapse of Chartism in 1848 and the rise of Gladstonian liberalism in the 1860s.

Set against the backdrop of revolution and reaction in Europe, the Crimean War, and the Indian Mutiny, this wide-ranging book looks at how and why radicalism lost its hold on British politics.
