The Triumph of Reform (1830-1841): Halevy’s History of the English People in the Nineteenth Century

Description

The third volume of Halevy's historical work opens at one of the most vital phases in the history of Britain. With the Reform Bill in hand, a long and difficult stride was being made towards the acceptance of the Parliementary Democracy. The author analyses here the social, political and religious influences that went into these beginnings and exercised the minds of men like Cobbett, Grey, and John Stuart Mill.
