English Radicalism, 1550-1850 PDF
Edited by Glenn Burgess, Matthew Festenstein

Description
An exploration of the place of radical ideas and activity in English political and social history over three centuries.
Its core concern is whether a long-term history of radicalism can be written.
Are the things that historians label 'radical' linked into a single complex radical tradition, or are they separate phenomena linked only by the minds and language of historians?
Does the historiography of radicalism uncover a repressed dimension of English history, or is it a construct that serves the needs of the present more than the understanding of the past?
The book contains a variety of answers to these questions.
As well as an introduction and eleven substantive chapters, it also includes two 'afterwords' which reflect on the implications of the book as a whole for the study of radicalism.
The distinguished list of contributors is drawn from a variety of disciplines, including history, political science, and literary studies.
