This book charts the course of working- and middle-class radical
politics in England from the continental revolutions of 1848 to the
fall of Gladstone's Liberal government in 1874. The author traces
the genealogy of English radicalism from its roots in Protestant
Dissent and the seventeenth-century revolutions, but also shows how
this shared radical tradition was problematized by middle-class
radicals' acceptance of classical liberal economics. She traces the
lineaments of this divide by contrasting middle- and working-class
responses to the continental revolutions of 1848 9, to the Polish
and Italian nationalism of the 1860s, and to the Paris Commune in
1871. She argues that these years witnessed not the relentless
liberalization of working-class radical protest in England, but
rather a significant diminution of middle-class radicals'
commitment to liberal economics. This accommodation contributed to
the emergence of the 'New Liberalism' of the 1880s, and helped to
shape middle- and working-class responses to the early socialist
movement.
