Zusammenfassung:"In this authoritative anthology of key political texts exploring the impact of this period on the British experience, Iain Hampsher-Monk examines the variety, influence and profundity of major thinkers such as Burke, Wollstonecraft, Paine and Godwin, along with the impact of other less celebrated contemporary writers." "This anthology is intended for tutors and students (at all levels from first-year undergraduate upwards) wishing to study the political theories generated in Britain by the Revolution: not only ideals such as liberty but more pervasive political principles such as secularism and individualism emerged during this turbulent period. The writings anthologised here are excerpted in such a way as to maintain the coherence and line of thought throughout each work, and thus students are shown whole arguments, and not merely isolated 'ideas'. The Impact of the French Revolution will be an important resource in its own right, and a major teaching tool for courses on the revolutionary period, the history of ideas, and political thought."--BOOK JACKET.
