Book Synopsis Trials for Treason and Sedition, 1792-1794, Part II vol 8 by : John Barrell
Book excerpt: The period 1792-94 witnessed the emergence of the first genuinely popular radical movement in Britain. After the phenomenal success of Thomas Paine's "Rights of Man", the government moved swiftly to prevent French republican ideas taking hold in Britain, beginning with the prosecution of Paine himself in absentia. This book focuses on this period.
