Description

Gregory Claeys explores the reception of the French Revolution in Britain through the medium of its leading interpreters.

Claeys argues that the major figures - Thomas Paine, Edmund Burke, Mary Wollstonecraft, William Godwin and John Thelwall - collectively laid the foundations for political debate for the following century, and longer.
