The Politics of the People in Eighteenth-Century Britain 1994th Edition

‘This adjudication by H.T. Dickinson is fair-minded and valuable…he has given us a remarkably informed, cogent and balanced survey.’ – John Cannon, History

‘We need to understand the mentality, as well as the behaviour, of the lower orders in politics. Both have been magisterially surveyed in… The Politics of the People in Eighteenth-Century Britain…With a succinctness that will be the despair of those who themselves have had to write lectures on this subject, Dickinson draws together the results of extensive modern research into all aspects of popular politics.’ – Historian

‘A sure-footed guide to the subject which is a model of clarity and lucid exposition, this is a work not just for the university library, but for the bookshelves of all students of the eighteenth century.’ – Martin Fitzpatrick, University of Wales

‘Articulate and readable, with a full index and extensive footnotes, this grand synthesis belongs in every British history collection.’ – R. Breihan, Choice
