This is a study of popular political behavior both before and after the Great Reform Act of 1832. Historians are divided over the impact of the Act, some heralding it as the dawn of a new age while others have dismissed it as an irrelevance. Phillips's new analysis, firmly grounded on detailed research in a number of provincial boroughs, explores the nature of parliamentary representation in the pre-Reform era and assesses the effects of the 1832 Act.
