The French Revolution had repercussions right across Europe and for the English it forced a prolonged and turbulent re-appraisal of the entire structure of their society. This book, published on the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution, represents an examination of the metaphors and models used in England to make sense of what had happened in France, as ways of thinking about society and the human psyche changed radically in the process of debate. Background documents form a wide variety of sources by active politicians, philosophers, theologians, novelists, poets, diarists and popular agitators are included, some only now being republished.
