Abstract

This book is a brief study of the current historical literature on just what the title describes, English social unrest and popular protest over a sixty-year time span. Its target audience in Great Britain is high school age students preparing for examinations. The most likely audience in the United States is graduate students preparing for doctoral qualifying examinations. The reason for this disparity is that, because of limited space, the author must presume a great deal of knowledge on the reader's part. As a result, someone who cannot identify Captain Swing or a knitting frame or the Combination Acts will find very little of use. However, for those with the background, it is a useful, well-written study of the major subjects and their subdivisions.
