This authoritative and thought-provoking history takes a fresh view
of what was a period of unprecedented and rapid change. Assuming no
prior knowledge of the subject, Hugh Cunningham provides a clear
narrative of political events, and an analysis of change and
continuity in ideas and in economic and social structure. Britain
is set firmly in the context of world power and the possession of
empire. An overarching theme is the challenge presented by
democracy in a period framed by the First and Fourth Reform Acts.
'Democracy' had no stable meaning, and its opponents were just as
vocal as its advocates. The book explores its implications for the
role of the state, for the governance of empire, and for the
relationship between the different nations within the United
Kingdom.
