Book: Rethinking The Age Of Reform: Britain 1780-1850 Combining the research of recognized young scholars, this book revisits Britain's much-studied "age of reform," before and after the Great Reform Act of 1832. It demonstrates that "reformers" hoped to reform not only parliament, government, the law and the church, but also medicine and the theater, among other entities. While the study focuses primarily on Britain, it also includes essays on Ireland, the Empire and continental Europe. A substantial introduction provides an overview of the period and its historiography.
