Produktbeschreibung

`The birth of a new age'. This is how Eric Evans describes the importance of the period 1815-1832. His study considers the tremendous forces of change operating after industrialisation and discusses the achievment of Lord Liverpool's administration in containing these pressures, thereby leading the way to evolutionary change rather than revolution.

Evans contextualises the calls for political reform and demonstrates that it was by no means the only issue on the agenda. Thus, foreign policy, trade, legal reforms, taxation, Robert Peel's introduction of a police force and - perhaps most important of all the contemporaries- religious changes, are given sustained attention.
