Description

This collection of essays deals with the political life of London, supplying a radical new focus for the interpretation of nineteenth-century British political history. Ranging across Whiggery, popular Radicalism, Toryism, Freethought, working-class politics, and Imperialism, it brings together the worlds of high politics and low in a century when successive reforms of parliament constantly changed the relationship between the two. Examining the interactions between Conservatives, radicals, and liberals, it seeks to establish the rhythms of metropolitan political agitation, unearth the peculiar culture of electoral activity there, and demonstrate the unique dimension revealed by a capital-centered approach to nineteenth century politics.
