Based on extensive research the book draws on critical theory to read and interpret a vast range of oral, visual and printed sources, in an attempt to expand our conception of the politics of the period. Read in the context of such sources, nineteenth-century English politics becomes resolved into a story about the struggle to define the nation's constitution, past, present and future. It suggests the existence of a popular strain of English libertarian politics, albeit one whose radical and democratic potential was gradually closed down. In short, despite the invention of a liberal constitution in this period, politics became less (not more) democratic, a lesson which the author sees as pertinent for many struggling to live in, or establish, liberal democratic constitutions in our own times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942466027808,"sku":"NEW0521115086","price":79.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/politics-and-the-people-a-study-in-english-political-culture-1815-1867-0521115086","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
