Description

The people, the empire, the political subject: all three were contentious issues in the politics and culture of eighteenth-century English cities. This study explores how these three issues came to occupy central roles in the wide-ranging political cultures of English towns between the Hanoverian Succession and the American war, enabling a variety of groups outside the structures of the state to claim a stake in national affairs.
