Reform! by Edward Pearce

A vivid account of the events surrounding the Reform Act of 1832 - the most important in the last 300 years of British parliamentary history. The new Whig government staggered everyone with a reform bill designed to wipe out rotten boroughs and enfranchise industrial towns.
Edward Pearce, after 25 years of Commons sketching and political commentary in national newspapers, now concentrates on history. After eight briefer, contemporary books, Reform! is the latest of four major studies, following The Lost Leaders (1997), Lines of Most Resistance (1999), and Denis Healey (2002), the widely acclaimed authorised biography.
