About the lecture

In this module, we think about the nature of the reform movements in Britain in the period following the start of the French Revolution. In particular, we think about popular responses to the Revolution—inspired by the writings of Richard Price, Mary Wollstonecraft and Thomas Paine—before moving on to think about the actions of the radical groups themselves.
