A Nation of Petitioners

Beschreibung

Between 1780 and 1918, over one million petitions from across the four nations were sent to the House of Commons. This first study of the nineteenth-century heyday of petitioning explores the central role of petitions in reshaping the political culture of the United Kingdom, as well as the history of modern British politics.
