This was a transformative period in English history. In 1783 the country was at one of the lowest points in its fortunes having just lost its American colonies in warfare. By 1846 it was once more a great imperial nation as well as the world's strongest power & dominant economy having benefited from what has sometimes (if misleadingly) been called the 'first industrial revolution'. In the meantime it survived a decade of invasion fears & emerged victorious from more than twenty years of 'war to the death' against Napoleonic France. But if Britain's external fortunes were in the ascendant the situation at home remained fraught with peril. The country's population was growing at a rate not experienced by any comparable former society & its manufacturing towns especially were mushrooming into filthy disease-ridden gin-sodden hell-holes in turn provoking the phantasmagoria of a mad bad & dangerous people. It is no wonder that these years should have experienced the most prolonged period of social unrest since the seventeenth century or that the elite should have been in constant fear of a French-style revolution in Engl&. The governing classes responded to these new challenges & by the mid-nineteenth century the seeds of a settled two-party system & of a more socially interventionist state were both in evidence though it would have been far too soon to say at that stage whether those seeds would take permanent root. Another consequence of these tensions was the intellectual engagement with society as for example in the Romantic Movement a literary phenomenon that brought English culture to the forefront of European attention for the first time. At the same time the country experienced the great religious revival loosely described under the heading 'evangelicalism'. Slowly but surely the raffish & rakish style of eighteenth-century society having reached a peak in the Regency then succumbed to the new norms of respectability popularly known as ' Victorianism'. ...
