Focusing on British political history, this influential work delves into the everyday channels that shaped public opinion, including the cheap press, militant Dissent, and organized labor. Vincent explores the transformation of the Parliamentary Whig Party into a national Liberal movement, detailing its impact on governance and society. The substantial new introduction, 'Afterthoughts,' enriches the discussion by reflecting on these dynamics and their significance in the broader context of political change in Britain.
