Philip Anthony Brown

Summary

First Published in 1965. This is a general account of the influence on English history of the period of the French Revolution. This volume seeks to fill that gap and to sketch an outline of the workings in force that penetrated English life, directly and by reaction, far into the nineteenth century. The general thread of politics, theory, and literature are traced, and concrete illustration is also supplied from the experiences of individuals, poets, politicians, and working men. Some unused material remains in the Public Record Office, the British Museum, and in the Privy Council records ; and this has been drawn upon. Printed biographies, pamphlets, and newspapers supply the bulk of the evidence.
