The responses of British people to the French Revolution has
recently received considerable attention from historians. British
commentators often expressed a sense of the novelty and scale of
European wars which followed, yet their views on this conflict have
not yet attracted such thorough examination. This book offers a
wide-ranging exploration of the attitudes of various groups of
British people to the conflict during the 1790's: the Government,
their supporters and their opponents inside and outside Parliament,
women, churchmen, and the broad mass of British public opinion. It
presents the debate in England and Scotland provoked by the war
both as the sequel to the French Revolution and as a distinct
debate in itself. Emma Vincent Macleod argues that contemporaries
saw this conflict as one of the first since the wars of religion to
be significantly shaped by ideological hostility rather than solely
by a struggle over strategic interests.
