Die englischen Konservativen des mittleren 19. Jahrhunderts geben Rätsel auf. Wie kam es, dass sie 1867 eine Wahlrechtsreform durchsetzten, die sogar weiter ging als die Forderungen der Reformliberalen? Und was machte in der Umwälzungsphase zwischen ländlicher Gesellschaft und Industrienation ihren spezifisch konservativen Charakter aus? In dieser Studie analysiert der Autor die wichtigsten Grundlagen des konservativen politischen Denkens und zeigt an Fallbeispielen auf, was sie für das konkrete politische Handeln bedeuteten. So gelingt es ihm, den englischen Konservatismus als vor allem anti-radikalen und zivilgesellschaftlich orientierten Radikal-Konservatismus zu begreifen. Die Wahlrechtsreform war in diesem Zusammenhang eine Vorwärtsverteidigung, um durch eine Demokratisierung der bestehenden Verhältnisse eine echte Demokratie zu verhindern.

The industrial revolution was and is a huge development and one of the fundamental changes in human experience in the modern world. In Debating the Industrial Revolution, Peter N. Stearns, a leading expert in world history, presents the major contours of the ongoing debates over industrialization in history. He explores the central historical discussion over what caused such a momentous change, demonstrating how interpretations have developed over time and encouraging students to critically engage with historical practice. Trying to understand why industrialization happened, and why it continues to happen, continues to organize considerable analytical energy. This book will be the ideal primer for students wanting to understand the key debates, and get a sense of how they might develop in the future.

The Industrial Revolution produced injury, illness and disablement on a large scale and nowhere was this more visible than in coalmining. Disability in the Industrial Revolution sheds new light on the human cost of industrialisation by examining the lives and experiences of those disabled in a sector that was vital to Britain’s economic growth. Although it is often assumed that industrialisation led to increasing marginalisation of people with impairments, disabled mineworkers were expected to return to work wherever possible, and new medical services developed to assist in this endeavour. Using a rich and innovative mix of sources ranging from official reports to autobiographies, this book examines disability and its consequences in the coalfields of Scotland, north east England and south Wales. It explores how working conditions, the organisation of labour, and employer attitudes affected the ability of impaired miners to find employment, and charts the multifaceted responses to disablement, ranging from health and safety regulations to welfare programmes. Recognising that experiences of disability extended beyond the world of work, the book discusses the family, community and cultural lives of disabled mineworkers. It shows how disability played an important role in industrial relations and shaped class identity. In the process, it presents a new history of disability and the Industrial Revolution, one that shows how disabled people contributed to Britain’s industrial development, and demonstrates how concerns about disability shaped responses to industrialisation.
