  • Overview

    The module examines the politics of the middling and lower orders in Britain between the Glorious Revolution of
    1688-89 and the French Revolutionary Wars, up to the Peace of Amiens in 1802. It is likely to cover the Glorious
    Revolution, early eighteenth-century political causes, later eighteenth-century political causes, the press, local
    politics, religion and popular politics, women in politics, and riots, culminating in an assessment of the political
    stability of eighteenth-century Britain.
