The Second Reform Act, passed in 1867, created a million new
voters, doubling the electorate and propelling the British state
into the age of mass politics. It marked the end of a twenty year
struggle for the working class vote, in which seven different
governments had promised change. Yet the standard works on 1867 are
more than forty years old and no study has ever been published of
reform in prior decades. This study provides the first analysis of
the subject from 1848 to 1867, ranging from the demise of Chartism
to the passage of the Second Reform Act. Recapturing the vibrancy
of the issue and its place at the heart of Victorian political
culture, it focuses not only on the reform debate itself, but on a
whole series of related controversies, including the growth of
trade unionism, the impact of the 1848 revolutions and the
discussion of French and American democracy.
