Volume XI of the collaborative Political History of England series, written by George C. Brodrick, covers the critical decades from Addington’s administration in 1801 through the close of William IV’s reign in 1837 — an era that encompassed the abolition of the slave trade, the Napoleonic Wars, Catholic emancipation, the Reform Act of 1832, and the first stirrings of Chartism and the factory reform movement.
Written with scholarly rigour and drawing on parliamentary and archival sources, this volume provides a comprehensive political narrative of Britain’s transition from the Georgian to the Victorian age. Download the free EPUB for an essential work of British constitutional and political history.
