Riotous Assemblies examines eighteenth- and early
nineteenth-century England through the lens of popular disorder.
Tackling both the more closely-studied forms of protest, such as
food riots, industrial disorders, and political disturbances, and
much less well understood occasions of popular disorder, such as
tax riots, turnpike riots, riots against the establishment of the
militia, and religious riot, Adrian Randall re-engages the study of
riot within a wider interpretation of the forces - social, economic
and political - which were transforming society. He pays particular
attention to disturbances in the years between 1795 and 1812,
critically examining how far they indicated the major
discontinuities discerned by earlier histories of protest, or
whether they retained much of the character of earlier upheaval.
Based upon detailed case studies and drawing upon the most recent
research, the book extends the focus of earlier studies of protest.
It locates the origins of disorder within the concepts of
constitutionalism and the free-born Englishman, and argues that
older attitudes proved far more tenacious than many have allowed.
