Europe was swept by revolution in the period from 1789 to 1848.
Britain, alone of the major western powers, seemed exempt from this
revolutionary fervour. The governing class attributed this
exemption to divine providence and the soundness of the British
Constitution. This view has been upheld by historians for over a
century. This book provides students with an alternative view of
the potential for revolution and the resources of conservatism in
early industrial Britain which challenges many of the common
assumptions. Incorporates quotations from primary sources to give
the reader a critical sense of why revolution was taken seriously
by people at the time. Shows how the revolutionaries were defeated
by the government's propaganda against revolutionary sentiments and
the strength of popular conservatism. -- .
