Bøger i The Enlightenment World serien

Pentland's study has 3 aims: to place the uprising in a wider context by exploring the modes of extra-parliamentary politics between 1815 and1820 as well as the situation outside Scotland; (ii) to provide the first full account of the rising itself; and (iii) to examine the legacies of both the politics of 1815-20 and the Radical War.

This collection foregrounds progress as "improvement" as a constitutive theme of Scottish writing during the long eighteenth century. It explores improvement as the animating principle behind Scotland¿s post-1707 project of modernization, a narrative both shaped and reflected in the literary sphere.

Radical printer and pamphleteer, Daniel Isaac Eaton, was prosecuted eight times between 1793 and 1812, finally being convicted over his printing of Paine's Age of Reason. This book is the first published account of his life and career and includes significant detail on the radical book trade as well as the incendiary political climate of the time.
