Books by John Belchem

A wide-ranging overview of radicalism throughout the "long" 19th century, from the days of "Wilkes and Liberty" to the aftermath of World War I, this study offers a critical introduction to new linguistic and cultural approaches. It studies both working-class and middle-class radicalism.

Between the second Reform Act and World War I, the patterns and codes of political behaviour in Britain changed. This study addresses issues in the political history of late-Victorian and Edwardian Britain, focusing on the role of class and party in local, Westminster and national politics.
