A Mad, Bad, And Dangerous People? : England, 1783-1846

Attribution
Boyd Hilton
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2006

Description
The country’s population was growing at a rate not experienced by any comparable former society, and its manufacturing towns especially were mushrooming into filthy, disease-ridden, gin-sodden hell-holes, in turn provoking the phantasmagoria of a mad, bad, and dangerous people. 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.
