Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Reform Bill of 1867, Vol. 93 There is no more important event connected with the story of the development of democracy in England than the passage of the Representation of the People Act of 1867. It is not unfitting, therefore, that attention should be paid to the circumstances under which the measure was carried. The present study is an attempt not only to tell the history of great party leaders and political cliques of the period but also to calculate the extent to which England reacted to the esprit du siècle after the triumph of the democratic cause in the American Civil War and more especially to trace the influence of the political agitation of those social classes not within "the pale of the Constitution" during a season of stress. A recital of facts proving that the urban working class was advancing in knowledge does not of itself explain why the working class was admitted to a share of England´s government, else the arguments brought forward by the friends of Reform in 1866 would have accomplished the passage of the bill of that year. Nor yet was it mob violence in 1866-1867 which was effective, for the lower classes displayed more violence in 1832 and during the Chartist movement than in the ´sixties and did not attain success.
