Reviews

'A fascinating and insightful look at a very dangerous time in British history, Mee's excellent book also speaks directly to us in the early 21st century as radicals once more try to disrupt civilisation.' Sun News Austin (www.sunnewsaustin.com) '... [this is] a book of very high quality, a cultural history both nourished by ... deep research in archives and problematized by theoretical contributions through very fine micro-readings.' Remy Duthille, translated from Revue de la Societe d'etudes anglo-americaines des XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles `A fascinating and insightful look at a very dangerous time in British history, Mee's excellent book also speaks directly to us in the early 21st century as radicals once more try to disrupt civilisation.'
