The focus of this comparative 1997 study is on political radicalism
at its high point around the middle of the nineteenth century, but
broad topics such as trade unionism, co-operation, socialism and
religion are also examined in depth. The author argues that French
and English radicalism did not stem directly from or reflect work
and workplace relations, but instead drew upon work groups and
organizations, material concerns, or social and religious groups.
Radicalism, it is argued, was part of everyday social life, the
daily concerns of which affected its practice - though usually not
its programmes. Radicalism was also characterized by cultural
diversity, although actual forms of organization and action usually
depended strongly upon the political context and strategic choices.
The book also offers reinterpretations of specific developments and
actions in both countries. This book is based on a rich range of
archival and printed primary source material and on many years of
research in French and British archives. It therefore offers a
major resource for anyone interested in the complex and diverse
origins of modern political life.
