Crowds have long been part of the historical landscape. Professor
Nicholas Rogers examines the changing role and character of crowds
in Georgian politics through an investigation of some of the major
crowd interventions in the period 1714-1821. He shows how the
topsy-turvy interventions of the Jacobite era gave way to the more
disciplined parades of Hanoverian England, a transition shaped by
the effects of war, revolution, and the expansion of the state and
the market. These changes unsettled the existing relationship
between crowds and authority, raising issues of citizenship, class,
and gender which fostered the emergence of a radical mass platform.
On this platform, radical men (and, more ambiguously, women) staked
out new demands for political power and recognition. In this
original and fascinating study, Professor Rogers shows us that
Hanoverian crowds were more than dissonant voices on the margins;
they were an integral part of eighteenth-century politics.
