A War of Ideas : British Attitudes to the Wars Against Revolutionary France, 1792–1802 Paperback / softback
by Emma Vincent Macleod
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Paperback / softback
Description
The responses of British people to the French Revolution has recently received considerable attention from historians.
British commentators often expressed a sense of the novelty and scale of European wars which followed, yet their views on this conflict have not yet attracted such thorough examination.
This book offers a wide-ranging exploration of the attitudes of various groups of British people to the conflict during the 1790’s: the Government, their supporters and their opponents inside and outside Parliament, women, churchmen, and the broad mass of British public opinion.
It presents the debate in England and Scotland provoked by the war both as the sequel to the French Revolution and as a distinct debate in itself.
Emma Vincent Macleod argues that contemporaries saw this conflict as one of the first since the wars of religion to be significantly shaped by ideological hostility rather than solely by a struggle over strategic interests.
