Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed account of the infamous 1831 Bristol Riots, drawing on extensive documentation from the era. The author places the events leading up to the riots within the broader context of social and political tensions in England at the time. These tensions were in part caused by the Reform Act of 1832, which promised significant electoral changes and exacerbated existing political divisions. The book examines the role of local political figures and the Bristol populace in the riots, exploring the ways in which economic distress, political agitation, and religious bigotry contributed to the unrest. Ultimately, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the Bristol Riots, highlighting their causes and consequences, and shedding light on the complexities of English society in the early 19th century.
