This book, originally published in 1979, traces the growth of
English radicalism from the time of Wilkes to the final suppression
of the radical societies in 1799. The metropolitan radical movement
is described in the context of the general democratic evolution of
the West in the age of the American and French revolutions, by
showing how its direction was influenced by events in France,
Scotland and Ireland. The book emphasizes the importance of the
great regional centres of provincial radicalism and of the
evolution of a local, radical press. It also throws light on the
impact of Painite radicalism, the origins of Anglo-french
hostilities in 1793, the English treason trials of 1794, the
protest movement of 1795 and the final phase of Anglo-Irish
clandestine republicanism.
