While the rest of eighteenth century Europe was embroiled in
revolution and unrest, Britain embarked on an era of comparative
calm and stability. Two attempts by the Stuarts to reclaim the
throne were easily put down, not through the power of the British
military, but through the general apathy of the British people, who
were just not in the mood to join in the rebellions enjoyed by the
American colonies and the French. Also known as the Age of
Enlightenment, this was a time for intellectual growth, as improved
literacy rates and the introduction of newspapers paved the way for
a more educated middle class. This was also an ideal time for the
initial flourishing of the British Empire, as Britain took
advantage of its rivals' troubles to further its aims abroad. This
comprehensive and authoritative guide takes a thematic approach to
eighteenth-century history, covering such topics as domestic
politics, religious developments and changes to social
demographics. It presents a full picture of an era of reform and
growth.
