British Politics in an Age of Reform" is a detailed examination of the political history of late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century Britain. It evaluates recent research, links the politics of the elite with the politics of the people, and seeks to explain significant developments. Among the issues addressed are: the relative powers of crown, cabinet and parliament between 1760 and 1832, the impact on domestic politics of revolution and war abroad, the growth of radicalism and popular political activity, agitation for reform and the responses of government, the rise of party, the connections between extra-parliamentary pressure and instability at the center of power.
