Rethinking the Politics of Commercial Society : The Edinburgh Review 1802-1832, Hardback Book

Rethinking the Politics of Commercial Society : The Edinburgh Review 1802-1832 Hardback

Hardback

Description

This book explores the sources of modern British liberalism through a study of the Edinburgh Review, the most influential and controversial early nineteenth-century British periodical.

Founded by a group of young Scottish intellectuals in 1802, the Review served as a principal channel through which the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment gained wider currency, and did much to popularize the doctrines of economic and political reform.

As Dr Fontana shows in this lucid and keen analysis, the first thirty years in the life of the Review clearly display the new social and economic problems confronting European society in the aftermath of the French Revolution.
