Public Life and Propertied Englishmen, 1689-1798: The Ford Lectures Delivered in the University of Oxford 1990 (Ford Lectures)

By Paul Langford

Book Overview

This book offers a major reassessment of the place of the propertied class in eighteenth-century England. The common view of politics in this period is one of aristocratic dominance coexisting with plebeian vitality. Langford explores the terrain which lay between the high ground of elite rule
and the low ground of popular politics, and shows that the Georgians were more active in this arena than is generally appreciated.
