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.

Many books have been written on fiction technique, and the chief
excuse for the present addition to the number is the complexity of
the subject. Its range is so wide, it calls for so many and so
different capacities in one attempting to discuss it, that a new
work has more than a chance to meet at least two or three
deficiencies in all other treatments. I believe that the chief
deficiency in most works on fiction technique is that the author
unconsciously has slipped from the viewpoint of a writer of a story
to that of a reader. Now a reader without intention to try his own
hand at the game is not playing fair in studying technique, and a
book on technique has no business to entertain him. Accordingly, I
have striven to keep to the viewpoint of one who seeks to learn how
to write stories, and have made no attempt to analyze the work of
masters of fiction for the sake of the analysis alone...Get Your

On 5 June 1975, voters went to the polls in Britain's first
national referendum to decide whether the UK should remain in the
European Community. As in 2016, the campaign shattered old
political allegiances and triggered a far-reaching debate on
Britain's place in the world. The campaign to stay in stretched
from the Conservative Party - under its new leader, Margaret
Thatcher - to the Labour government, the farming unions and the
Confederation of British Industry. Those fighting to 'Get Britain
Out' ranged from Enoch Powell and Tony Benn to Scottish and Welsh
nationalists. Footballers, actors and celebrities joined the
campaign trail, as did clergymen, students, women's groups and
paramilitaries. In a panoramic survey of 1970s Britain, this volume
offers the first modern history of the referendum, asking why
voters said 'Yes to Europe' and why the result did not, as some
hoped, bring the European debate in Britain to a close.
